The storm hit the island of Jeju overnight on 4 October, resulting in hundreds of houses, shops and factories being inundated in surrounding areas, according to the Ministry of Public Safety and Security. Chaba has since left 190 people homeless and has left roughly 229,000 households without power. Photos show the extent of the damage caused, as cars were seen drifting among the floodwaters, while emergency services made various rescue missions to save those who were stranded.
