- Typhoon Saola left a trail of destruction in Hong Kong as it battered the financial hub Friday into Saturday.
Businesses, schools and financial markets were shut, as Hong Kong imposed its highest hurricane storm signal 10 on Friday night.
One resident, Marianne Bray, described how the storm felt at its worst.
"The wind is absolutely ferocious and the closest reading is on an island next to us which is around 140 km an hour so in the village where I live we had aircons blown off roofs and doors so it is actually, we came home, we were trying to come home before the storm got really bad. It was actually really frightening because we thought things were going to fall on us."
By early Saturday, authorities downgraded the typhoon warning in Hong Kong. Its normally bustling streets were lined with trees uprooted by strong winds.
Super typhoon Saola was among the strongest storms to hit southern China in decades.
After lashing out at Hong Kong, the typhoon made landfall in Guangdong. Floods were seen in Huizhou and hundreds of thousands were evacuated from high-risk areas.
A second typhoon, Haikui, is approaching Taiwan. It's set to hit the island on Sunday before heading to China's province of Fujian.

It’s the weather, there are extremes that we experience every so often, and have been for thousands of years !
It’s a storm.
ridiculous. the Typhoon signal was up way before it started to get bad. they should have gone home on time. Taking risks under a T8 is just insane or they just want to appear on the news. .get a life...

God's punishment for supplying Russia with weapons
Why did God unleash Hurricane Idalia on Florida?
There is no god. ruZZia should not have invaded a sovereign country.
@@yihchin because Florida is predominantly republican, fascist, pro gun and trump supporter. Just be glad God didn't decide to wipe Florida off the map, he's kinder than I am
It probably punished the wrong people because most of us in HK are actually against the Russian invasion.
I live in Hong Kong and I can't stand American Foreign Policy, which starts all of these conflicts in the first place
Please inform your embassy as soon as possible or any other institute for helping me here in Pakistani punjab
