The Korean Peninsula was hit by two typhoons in four days.Maysak, then Haishen both made landfall in nearly the same spot in South Korea.Damaging winds and flooding rainfall were the main impacts.

Typhoons Maysak, then Haishen made back-to-back landfalls in South Korea within days bringing damaging winds and flooding rainfall to the storm-weary Korean Peninsula.

Maysak made landfall in South Korea early on September 3.

Winds gusted over 80 mph in Busan, which is near where the center of Maysak crossed the coast. Busan is South Korea's second-largest city.

More than 270,000 homes lost power in South Korea from Maysak's strong winds, but many of those outages have been restored, according to The Associated Press.

Maysak also flooded dozens of roads and vehicles and knocked down trees, the AP reported. At least two deaths in South Korea were blamed on the storm, including one person who was killed in Busan after being injured by shattered window glass.

A livestock ship carrying 43 crew members went missing after it made a distress call in rough seas near Japan's southern islands earlier this week, the AP reported. Two crew members were rescued before the search had to be suspended due to the approach of Typhoon Haishen.

Typhoon Haishen then made landfall roughly four days later on September 7 virtually in the same spot as Maysak did over southeast South Korea before moving into North Korea.

Following late August's landfall of Typhoon Bavi in North Korea, this was the first time on record three consecutive typhoons made landfall on the Korean Peninsula, according to Steve Bowen, a meteorologist with the reinsurer, Aon.

Maysak first impacted southern Japan, including parts of the Ryukyu Islands and Kyushu, as the month was about to change to September.

Okinawa Island, including Kadena Air Base, generally measured gusts from 70 to 85 mph. A peak gust of 98 mph was measured in the city of Naha, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.

Hundreds of homes lost power in Okinawa because of the strong winds, the AP reported.

Taking the hardest hit from Maysak's eyewall was Kume Island, about 60 miles west of Okinawa Island Monday night. Winds gusted up to , according to the JMA. They also picked up almost 9 inches of rain in 24 hours through late Tuesday afternoon.
