You guys don't understand the geography or topography there.

Korea is filled with razorback mountains. Hell, half the reason the NORTH Koreans want the south is for the somewhat flatter land. Anyways, these very steep mountains shed water VERY quickly. A LOT of the dirt around there is ground granite and water just goes straight through.

You can have flash flooding anywhere within 10 minutes.

Above and beyond that, it rains there a LOT!


Worst part of all?

Rain... More rain, lots of rain...

Streams flood, then they spill over the banks...

Then they flood over the sandbags around the rivers at the military bases....

Then you end out with huge containers floating down the river...

Then you end up with ammunition and LIVE LAND MINES washing down the mountain side...
