Typhoon Maysak made landfall in South Korea with winds gusting up to 80 mph. The storm is expected to bring significant damage from both wind and rainfall.

The coastal city of Busan, South Korea's second largest city, was seeing heavy winds and rain in the early morning hours of Thursday, local time. Winds of 80 mph were recorded locally.

The storm snapped trees, broke windows and flooded roads on South Korea's Jeju Island, the Associated Press reported. Winds clocked at nearly 70 mph at Jeju International Airport.

Ahead of the Maysak's landfall, at least 439 domestic flights were canceled in South Korea, according to the AP.

Before heading to the Korean Peninsula, the typhoon knocked out power to hundreds of homes in Okinawa, Japan, as winds up to 85 mph were measured nearby.

Maysak is followed closely by Typhoon Haishen, which is expected to strike parts of southern Japan this weekend. Haishen could then track near the Korean Peninsula early next week, just days behind Maysak.
