We had a T8 - T9 - T8 last night. It was a scary night as the wind was gusting in a swirly pattern. It kept picking things up and throwing them at the house.
This morning there is a lot of tree debris about but the house and windows are all intact.
As the warnings drop back to T1 and Thunderstorm, I am hibernating!
However I did find a new warning sign to excite me:
LANDSLIP WARNING
Landslip Special Announcement issued by the Hong Kong
Observatory at 3:00 a.m. on 19 July 2009:
The Hong Kong Observatory has issued the Landslip Warning.
Keep away from steep slopes or retaining walls.
Motorists should avoid driving in hilly areas or on roads
with landslip warning signs.
Cancel non-essential appointments, stay at home or remain
in a safe shelter.
If you see signs of landslip danger, keep away from the
area and report to the Police.
Temporary shelters provided by District Offices are now
open. If you receive a notice to evacuate because of
landslip danger, or believe that your home is endangered,
you should make immediate arrangements to move to a safe
shelter.
DISPATCHED BY HONG KONG OBSERVATORY AT 03:02 HKT ON 19.07.2009
