report says 8 north Koreans killed and more injured probably, structural damage and farmland flooded. the death and injury toll will be higher though but one of the video reports that the north Korean regime were more organized this time around telling everyone to get ready.
the crop losses are the most significant impact though as the north was already struggling with poor yields.
i wonder how many seized the opportunity to escape to China though since the power must have gone out in those electric fences.

also, a good report by DailyNK interviews a north Korean living in south Hwanghae province in the south west of the country after the storm. the resident reports that there is significant damage to the crops there due to landslides, people buried, dead livestock, damage to fishing boats, etc.
the people as usual have no help from the regime in the way of equipment so they have to use what they have to salvage or rebuild.
