Epic Typhoon (Hurricane) hits Hong Kong

in #travel7 years ago

Hong Kong was hit by an epic "Typhoon" (The asian version of a hurricane) today. The storm forced offices and schools to close in Hong Kong. Waves up to 10 meters crashed against the coast of Hong Kong. Minor flooding also occurred in localized areas.

Images from local news, i'm too chicken to go outside and brave the weather

Be safe. Hope noone is hurt. Stay indoors. Good luck

I think the hurricane was from the Philippines. We experienced the same too.

Oh my god this looks bad! Its really best to stay sheltered in such situations.

yea! pretty serious. my building management taped up all the windows already.

Hong Kong raised its highest storm warning Wednesday as Severe Typhoon Hato brought the city to a standstill, shutting down the stock market and forcing the cancellation of hundreds of flights as heavy rain and winds pummelled the territory.

yup! only 1 flight landed today

Wow, that is some wild weather! Of the three occasions I have visited Hong Kong luckily the weather was settled and very nice. I love the climate in Hong Kong :)

Wow. I hope no one got hurt

good luck everyone
