Typhoon Lingling hit South Korea on Saturday, where it knocked out power, and toppled trees and street signs before making landfall in North Korea.

At least three people have died in the storm, according to The Associated Press, and more than 161,000 homes were left without power. The storm has flooded homes and forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights.

The AP catalogued some of the destruction:

"A 75-year-old woman in the central South Korean town of Boryeong was killed after strong winds blew her off her feet and crashed her into a wall 30 meters (yards) away, the ministry said. A 39-year-old was killed in the western city of Incheon after being crushed by a collapsed wall at a hospital parking lot, while a 61-year-old Chinese national died in the border town of Paju after being hit by a blown-off roof tile."

After hitting South Korea, the storm traveled toward North Korea at a speed of 37 mph, bringing winds with speeds of up to 122 mph. That's the equivalent of the winds in a Category 3 hurricane.
