The past week – especially during the weekend, Hong Kong has been assaulted by storms and typhoons. Fortunately most just skimming by although one particular typhoon went by quite close to Hong Kong. It was Pabuk Typhoon and it created quite a mess last Friday when the government suddenly hoisted the Typhoon Signal No.8 – sending everyone home from work and schools, resulting in packed MTR stations and bus stops. It took Timothy almost 3 hours to get home! Yiiikes! Not a weather to go out in, definitely!

Today there was a bit of sunshine – although in general it’s still very hazy and humid. Here’s a picture I took this afternoon: Hong Kong island was completely gone!

Compared with this one that I took a while ago when the weather was fine:

The weather forecast said there’ll be a new storm coming up on the 16th… Oh wellll… At least I’m working from home :).

Great photos–really shows the change. A tornado just ripped by my brother’s house last week. House is okay, but lots of tree damage. Stay safe!
