"Hurry Up!" "The Baby!!"… Struck in Just "30 Seconds" Without Heavy Rain

Around 9 a.m. on August 8, a valley in Inje-gun, Gangwon Province. In less than 30 seconds, the peaceful valley water swelled up to shoulder height.

A child who was playing in the water even got swept away in an instant while trying to cross the overflowing stream.

Rescue workers who rushed to the scene connected a rope across the valley and evacuated people by boat, successfully rescuing all seven people stranded in the rapid current.

At the time, no heavy rain was falling in the Inje valley, so why did the stream overflow in an instant?
