Another Typhoon has its sights set on HK. The heat in the past couple of days has been oppressive and the pollution levels have been off the charts, both indicators of an approaching storm. It's mid-morning right now and the slight breeze from the south has prompted the HK Observatory to hoist a Signal 3 warning. By late afternoon Hagupit is supposed to be a Signal 8 which will close down the City's office buildings and send everyone home to their bunkers in the sky. That's what's crazy, the government sends everyone home at the same time when a Signal 8 is hoisted so people hit the streets and the taxi queues are endless and everyone sits in line and gets drenched. The wise ones instead make their way to the Captain's Bar at the Mandarin to ride out the storm. By nightfall tonight the typhoon should be in full swing, we'll send photos.
