SEOUL - South Korea cleaned up Thursday after Typhoon Chaba lashed its southern coast with powerful winds and heavy rains that triggered flash floods and left six people dead and four missing. In Ulsan, a man drowned near his apartment and a woman was found dead at a flooded underground parking lot. More than 230,000 homes across the coastal area suffered power outages, but the Korea Electric Power Corp. said supplies had been restored by Thursday morning. Photos released by the Hyundai labour union showed flooded assembly lines where workers produce popular sedans and sports utility vehicles. The typhoon had triggered severe storm warnings in Japan, but was downgraded to an tropical cyclone over the Sea of Japan (East Sea) before it hit Honshu island on Wednesday evening.
