Fourteen people die in South Korea after torrential rain causes landslides and flooding

Five days of torrential rain in South Korea has left at least 14 people dead and 12 more missing. A landside engulfed houses and flooding swept away vehicles in the resort town of Gapyeong, northeast of capital Seoul, on Sunday. One person was killed after their house collapsed and another was found dead after being swept away by a swollen stream, while six people remain missing in the town and the southern city of Gwangju. The Interior and Safety Ministry said eight people were killed and six others reported missing in the southern town of Sancheong on Saturday after heavy downpours caused landslides, house collapses and flash floods. Earlier in the week, three people were found dead in a submerged car, and a person was also killed when their car was buried by soil and concrete after a retaining wall of an overpass collapsed in Osan, just south of Seoul. Southern regions have been hit by up to about 600-800mm (24-31 inches) of rain since the downpours began n Wednesday. About 3,840 people remained evacuated from their homes by Sunday morning. The heavy rainfall moved north overnight and alerts have been lifted throughout the country, ministry officials said.

Elite Roofing and Gutters Urges Homeowners and Businesses to Protect Roofs Ahead of Gulf Storm Concerns

'Your roof is your first defense against extreme weather. With storms looming, schedule an inspection or repairs now to avoid costly damage.'— Eddie Coleman, General Manager, Elite Roofing and Gutters PEARL, MS, UNITED STATES, July 18, 2025 / / -- As the summer heat intensifies and a tropical disturbance develops in the Gulf, Elite Roofing and Gutters is urging homeowners and businesses to take immediate action to protect their roofs. Proactive preparation is critical to minimizing damage from both scorching temperatures and the looming threat of hurricane season. The combination of summer heat and intense storms can place strain on roofs. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can cause materials to warp or crack, while hurricane-force winds and heavy rainfall have the potential to exploit even minor vulnerabilities. 'Your roof is your first defense against extreme weather,' said Eddie Coleman, General Manager at Elite Roofing and Gutters. 'With storms looming, schedule an inspection or repairs now to avoid costly damage.' Steps to Prepare Your Roof for Summer Weather and Storms Elite Roofing and Gutters recommends the following steps to ensure rooftops are ready for whatever the season brings: -Schedule a Roof Inspection: Identifying potential weak spots, loose shingles, or worn materials early can prevent minor issues from escalating. -Complete Necessary Repairs: Address any damage, no matter how small, to reinforce your roof against heavy winds and downpours. -Clean Gutters and Drainage Systems: Ensure water can flow freely without clogging, as blocked gutters can lead to leaks and water damage. -Trim Overhanging Branches: Limiting nearby tree branches can prevent debris from falling and damaging the roof during storms. For those living on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Elite Roofing and Gutters also emphasizes the importance of proactive measures, such as securing roofing materials and considering storm-rated upgrades, to enhance resilience. What To Do When the Next Big Storm Hits Elite Roofing and Gutters warns against hiring unlicensed roofers after storms. 'Mississippi is unfortunately seeing an influx of unlicensed, uninsured, and unqualified roofing companies knocking on doors after storms,' warns Eddie Coleman, General Manager of Elite Roofing. 'These contractors often fail to meet basic code and industry standards and, in many cases, make damage worse instead of better. Residents need to ensure they are hiring a reputable, licensed, and insured company for their roofing needs.' Due to poor workmanship, unlicensed contractors leave many Mississippi residents with additional costs and ongoing problems. These problems can range from subpar work that needs to be redone to legal issues if the contractor is injured on the job. Elite Roofing emphasizes the importance of verifying credentials before hiring a roofing company to combat this problem. To choose the right roofer, Coleman suggests using this simple checklist: Do Your Homework: Research the company. First, check the Mississippi Board of Contractors website ( ). Check if the company holds a contractor's license and that the license is valid and up to date. Is the company fully compliant with all state regulations, protecting homeowners and businesses from liability and additional costs? Professional Craftsmanship: Ask about experience with similar projects. Are they held to exacting standards, ensuring quality, durability, and compliance with building codes? Has the company knocking on your door served the state of Mississippi for an extended period, and does the company hold any industry accreditations? About Elite Roofing and Gutters Headquartered in Pearl, Mississippi, with additional locations in Hattiesburg, Gulfport, and Oxford, Elite Roofing and Gutters (formerly Complete Exteriors) has been redefining roofing excellence since 2007. Focusing on craftsmanship, innovation, and unmatched customer care, the company offers an extensive range of residential, specialty, and commercial roofing services.

Maps show where thunderstorms will hit UK this weekend as Met Office warnings issued

Thunderstorms and heavy downpours are set to hit the UK amid a spell of humid weather. Yellow warnings for storms have been issued across much of England on Friday and into the weekend, with the risk of sudden flooding and lightning strikes causing transport delays and power cuts. Temperatures will remain high, topping 30 degrees in parts of central and southern England on Friday. The yellow weather warnings are currently in place between 9pm on Friday and 6pm on Saturday. Met Office forecasters warn that spray and flooding could lead to difficulties for drivers, possible road closures, and the risk that some communities may become cut off as a result. Damage to homes and businesses is also possible from adverse weather conditions. On Sunday, the heavy showers are expected to continue, moving northwards throughout the day.
