#torrential rain

[one-time-i-dreamt]

A man went viral in Seoul, South Korea yesterday for this very photo. Pictured here is a man in a suit on his phone, sitting on a car in an extreme flood and heavy rain.

Seoul was hit with the biggest amount of torrential rain in over 80 years. There has been flooding, landslide, building collapses, power outtakes, and unfortunately, at least seven confirmed human casualties (and 6 people unaccounted for), among them a 13 year old girl. May they rest in peace.

The man in the photo was later revealed to have been a reporter reporting live from the scene on his phone.

This is how it all looked from his point of view.

The reporter's name is Park Sang-ryul (박상률) and he works for Yonhap News TV (연합뉴스TV).

I can't for certainty say where the original photo of him comes from, because it was reuploaded a million times already so if you find credit please do tell me, but I believe this was the first tweet to feature it: link to tweet.

The reason I chose this photo is because it shows well just how apocalyptic things are right now. I have friends in South Korea who are scared out of their minds due to the situation, and my thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected. I hope all of you are safe.

About Disaster Intensity Points (PDI)

Japan is a country that is destined to face various disasters that easily threaten the lives of its citizens. Therefore, as an index for roughly evaluating the degree of disaster risk, PDI (Disaster Intensity Points: Points of

Introduce Disaster's Intensity).

（１）As a disaster

1. Typhoons (including tornadoes)

2. Earthquake (including fire and crushing)

3. tsunami

4. Volcanic eruption (including pyroclastic flow)

5. Torrential rain (including floods and debris flows)

6. heavy snowfall

7. thunderstorm

Set seven of

（２）All disasters are equal in the probability of causing fatalities. 　　

（３）From the case where the risk of disaster is almost zero (0) to the case where there will be fatalities (1),

Evaluate the degree of risk of each disaster in increments of 0.1, sum over seven items, and make it the PDI.

In this trial calculation, we will use Morishita's guess, but if we study the past disaster history, we can get a more accurate value.

Accidents (melt downs) at nuclear power plants are: 2. earthquake and 3. Since it cannot be ignored as a secondary disaster in the case of a tsunami, the raw data is doubled for these two disasters. (If there is a nuclear power plant in the area.) So the PDI will be a value up to 9.

(4) This time, the trial calculations are made on a prefecture-by-prefecture basis, but more detailed divisions may be necessary or even possible.

　　　The following is a trial calculation for the three prefectures.

Gunma Prefecture Niigata Prefecture Nagasaki Prefecture

1. Typhoon 0.2 0.2 0.8

2. Earthquake 0.2 0.8 0.5

3. Tsunami 0.0 0.8 0.8

4. Volcanic eruption 0.7 0.4 0.8

5. Torrential rain 0.2 0.6 0.8

6. Heavy snow 0.4 0.9 0.1

7. Thunderstorm 0.8 0.5 0.5

PDI 2.5 5.8 5.6

As a trend, PDI is low in inland prefectures without volcanoes, and conversely, in coastal prefectures with volcanoes.

It seems that the PDI will be high. Here, Nagasaki Prefecture does not have a nuclear power plant, but in view of the fact that there is a Genkai Nuclear Power Plant in Saga Prefecture, which is closely related to the neighboring prefecture, it is assumed that Nagasaki Prefecture also has a nuclear power plant.

Although Morishita regards "war" as a type of "disaster", it was not reflected in this PDI calculation. In addition, areas with many buildings that pose a problem due to the problem of disguised seismic strength naturally receive a high score for damage caused by an earthquake. In any case, modern “man-made disasters (man-made disasters)” are large in both quality and quantity.

We're under a severe thunderstorm warning. There was some torrential rain and some thunder. No lightning yet.

Currently it's quietly raining This is what the radar looked like about 7 minutes ago:

I scrolled the radar screen and there's more to come.

It’s raining so hard I fully expect to look outside at some point and some hoe is rowing down the street in a kayak.
