Calm Before the Storm

The current view out our window is of a crystal clear Hong Kong skyline but that is expected to change very shortly as Typhoon Molave approaches. Should be a wild night!

STORM UPDATE: It was a big one, but unfortunately it took place between 1am and 5am so we were mostly asleep....I did wake up around 3am and it was clear the storm was violent. It actually reached Signal 9, 1 below the maximum of 10 but 1 above the Signal 8 that shuts down the city's transport and sends workers home. Being in our apartment was kind of like driving thru a car wash, water was blasting the windows from multiple directions so you couldn't see anything. And wind whistles loudly up through the elevator shafts. But by daybreak it was clear.
