A Taste Of Typhoon Kompasu In Seoul, South Korea September 2nd 2010

[roxanneworld11]

Wow, what a day - glad you're ok!

I have a lot of respect for storms, yet they can be so amazing. I understand why filming one would be compelling.

[mikolchung]

BO SSAM! Delicious.

I know it's not the most appropriate comment, but like you said... business as usual. And I'm korean myself and the koreans are a resilient bunch... so hopefully everything will come together in the end. Thanks for the video mike!

[michaelarnold13]

[michaelarnold13]

[michaelarnold13]

[qiranger]

Can't believe how rough it was in Seoul. We got some rough stuff here, but nothing that major!

[michaelarnold13]

i was surprised

i thought i would of slept right thru it but was woken but the howling and crashing

[Scurvyforall]

wow thats a lot of mud -.- if I knew myself, Id be sleeping throughout the whole thing lol

[michaelarnold13]

i assumed id sleep thru it too

but mother natured nudged me pretty early

[Ericgtx]

@michaelarnold13 May the people who died b/c of the Typhoon rest in peace!

[michaelarnold13]

i concur RIP

[amarth23]

Damn I wish I was there when it happened, I'm never around for exciting things :(.. Of course it's sad to hear about what happened to the 3 souls who lost their lives. Shame it wasn't any of the yankee ESL losers. ;)

[michaelarnold13]

ouch, nasty

[amarth23]

@michaelarnold13 Yes, well Until you get a group of them fat smelly improper English speaking muppets pounding on you for not giving them a cigarette ( I don't smoke) you wouldn't call it nasty ^^

[ABombs1]

I warned ye. I warned ye!

[michaelarnold13]

i was looking forward to it

[ABombs1]

@michaelarnold13 There was rumour of a second on Tuesday, but it's reared off the the west a bit and died down to a regular tropical storm. I was a first timer, great experience!

[michaelarnold13]

ah , bummer

years ago, i arrived in Jeju 1 or 2 days after a real heavy one

all the fishing boats in the harbor were being pulled up from the bottom

most sank in port during the Typhoon

[ABombs1]

@michaelarnold13 Wow...makes me put the Atlantic beasts into a bit more perspective.

[wildoetz]

oops, you captured a marilyn monroe moment there, my friend!

[michaelarnold13]

yes that killed me lmao :)

no worries though, dont think freeze frameing will capture anything

shes fine,a quick hand

[wildoetz]

@michaelarnold13 haha i had a good laugh when i saw that you included that clip amongst the others. anyway, be safe, mate! the effects of typhoons of that size won't disappear overnight.

[michaelarnold13]

had too, was a keeper :)

[trebornoican]

almost 24 hours of no electricity power in our place here in namyang.. and it's my frist time to experience a typhoon like this. and you really went to shhot kompasu ah.. your a brave man sir.

[michaelarnold13]

it was funny

my landlord locked the door and here i am in shorts, a t shirt and a dinky little camera

I said let me out and she said no

haha i had to persuade her id be alright

was crazy when i first went out into it(and exiting)loved it,love the extraordinary

[stuffnnonsense]

@michaelarnold13 Your landlady must consider you as family!

Korean ladies take their fashion very seriously (bless 'em) but skirt lady should've known better.

[michaelarnold13]

her and her husband treat me really well(except when it comes to rent^^)

and skirt lady ?

she made my day lmao :)

[vipersrules]

Wow thats alot of damage

i heard about the typhoon from a friend but i didnt know wat it looked like XD

[michaelarnold13]
