OUR FIRST TYPHOON

As I write this post, M and I are experiencing our first typhoon. Typhoon Vicente has brought heavy rains and winds to Hong Kong beginning yesterday. By the middle of last night, the Hong Kong Observatory issued the number 10 hurricane signal at 12:45 a.m, the highest storm signal since 1999.

Here are some pictures of us commuting home last night. It was madness in the subway station as people rushed to get home.

Our rush home

Our Claire and Brad wedding umbrella could not withstand Vicente:(

 And not much had changed when we woke up this morning... Here is the view from our apartment.

Now I am waiting for news that it's safe to travel outside so I can get to work!

New to Hong Kong? We get all of our weather updates from Hong Kong Observatory. They have a great smart phone application where you can receive timely weather alerts. Click here for a link to all of the weather warnings issued in HK.
