In tandem with Typhoon Neoguri this weekend, Hong Kong experienced a Black Rain warning yesterday. Black Rain falls at a rate of over 70 millimeters per hour (nearly 3 inches). It did come down heavily, when the clouds parted and the rain stopped it offered the clearest view of the city skyline that I've ever seen -- no smog, haze or other pollutants. And it clean at the street level as well. Hong Kong is a very congested city, and with so many people traversing the same public terrain everyday it becomes very necessary for Mother Nature to swab the decks every so often. I'm not saying I'd eat off the sidewalks here in HK, but yesterday would have been the day to do it.
