Even as South Korea endured the landfall of Typhoon Maysak, a developing tropical storm in the Northwest Pacific posed the spectre of another potential typhoon – one perhaps even stronger than Maysak – threatening the nation by late this weekend.

Maysak reached the South Korea coast shortly after Thursday morning local time (around 1 p.m. EDT Wednesday). Landfall was just west of Busan, the nation’s second-largest city and the world’s fifth-largest port. Maysak’s broad wind field likely pushed a substantial storm surge into a wide swath of coastline, including Busan.

A cargo ship from New Zealand went missing off the coast of Japan as a typhoon bore down on the region. The Japanese coastguard rescued one person as it searched for the ship, which has 43 people and almost 6,000 cattle on board.
