Typhoon Fengshang (Frank)

Fengshan has touched down in Hong Kong as a Signal 8 typhoon. It's pouring outside with heavy winds. Schools and government buildings are closed and everyone is couped up in their apartments waiting it out. This is the same storm that caused the terrible ferry disaster in the Philippines, thankfully it has weakened quite a bit since then. I am actually a little underwhelmed by the ferocity of the storm, I really thought a Typhoon 8 would have sharper teeth. I've seen far nastier weather in HK over the past couple weeks. My colleague who's from London said, "I've played golf in worse weather."
