Typhoon Hinnamnor made landfall carrying winds of up to 89 miles per hour near the port of Busan and is moving northeast toward eastern China, where it is expected to hit later this week.

South Korean officials warned of the potential damages from Hinnamnor, with the typhoon coming just weeks after flooding near Seoul killed more than a dozen people.
