South Korean broadcasting companies came under fire for their breaking news coverage of the worst rainfall in 115 years in Seoul and its surrounding areas.

" There was not enough information during the breaking news coverage.” "They Just kept showing the same footage of flooding and didn't add any helpful information as rain continued throughout the night," were common complaints.

The record overnight rainfall resulted in hundreds of flood victims, and jeopardized citizens in the capital area on their after-work commute. Roads and sidewalks in the capital area were flooded, causing some people to leave their cars on the road. A number of cars and buses were stuck for hours on expressways from Seoul to Gyeonggi Province due to traffic controls. Some regions of Seoul experienced blackouts.

The rainstorm poured as much as 141 millimeters (5.5 inches) of water per an hour in parts of Seoul on Monday night. 

More rain is forecasted for Thursday, so the worse may not be over.
