In another sign that the world's weather is out of whack,Hong Kong is currently being hit by a Typhoon, the earliest the city has ever been hit by such a storm since records have been kept (and in China, records have been kept for a looong time). The signpost in the lobby of our building claims Typhoon Neoguri to be a No. 3 Signal event
which is basically a big rainstorm with accompanying strong winds. Its the Signal 8+ typhoons that close the schools and send everyone screaming home from work to batton down the hatches. We look forward to those come August. But the city is taking Neoguri in stride. I just dropped Lizzie and Ingrid off at the Airport Express for their flight home to the States. The flight is still scheduled to leave on time so I suppose its not a major meteorological event.
