Geoje: More than 800 millimeters of rain has pounded South Gyeongsang Province, including Geoje, over the weekend, triggering a landslide in the city that killed a resident, authorities said Monday.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the city of Geoje, more than 300 kilometers southeast of Seoul, received 805.7 mm of rain from Saturday through 8 a.m. Monday. Meanwhile, Tongyeong in the province experienced 671.9 mm of rainfall during the same period, with other areas receiving between 240 mm and 340 mm.

Heavy rain warnings were in effect in five areas of the province, including Geoje and Tongyeong, as of Monday morning. Lower-level advisories were also in place across many parts of the region.

The intense downpours triggered a landslide in Geoje at 4:42 a.m. Monday, striking an apartment building. Police and firefighters rescued three residents from the affected building, but one was found in cardiac arrest and later pronounced dead at a hospital.

Firefighters received more than 20 calls overnight from residents in Geoje seeking help over rain-related incidents and damage, authorities said.

Several streams in Geoje overflowed due to the heavy rain, flooding roads and causing a separate landslide that hit a house. Fortunately, no casualties were reported in that incident.

As of Monday morning, both Geoje and Tongyeong were experiencing rainfall of up to 100 mm per hour, with the weather agency forecasting up to an additional 150 mm of rain in parts of the province throughout the day.
