STORY: Eyewitness video showed a car moving through flooded streets in South Korea’s Geoje on Monday (August 17), as heavy rains sweep across the southern region of the country. Reuters was able to confirm the location from street layout, road signs, road light and vegetation which matched with archive and satellite images of the area. Date and location confirmed by original file metadata. A landslide in South Korea killed one person and injured three, media reports said on Monday, as heavy rainfall lashed the country's southern region. The landslide struck a residential apartment building in Geoje, South Gyeongsang province, burying the first floor, the Yonhap News Agency reported. Rescue workers pulled three residents from the building, but one was later pronounced dead at a hospital, Yonhap said. South Korea's weather agency issued heavy rain warnings for parts of the southern region, where some areas have recorded up to 800 millimeters (31.5 inches) of rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning, since Saturday. In Geoje, a southern coastal city near Busan, rivers overflowed and roads were inundated, disrupting traffic and leaving residents stranded. Around 100 residents in Geoje were being evacuated due to the risk of further landslides, while authorities were rescuing 20 residents stranded in the area, the safety ministry said in a statement on Monday.
