For the first time in 2024, Typhoon Signal No. 8 was hoisted. At the centre of YAGI, the wind reached 230 kilometres per hour. But it passed around 400 km south of Hong Kong.
When I went out for a walk around 8:30 am this morning, The wind was fairly strong at times. But it was not so strong that I had to fight it. Much of the time I actually had my cap on.
Some tree branches are strewn around the streets. But I did not see big fallen trees.
Most shops were closed. But one can still buy meat,
fish, …, even durian.
Have congee for breakfast,
with steamed rice rolls, fried noodles, …
Pigeons walked the street, freely.
Even the white-headed waves in the harbour did not look too threatening.
People were jogging on the water front.
Reporters looked bored.
It may disappoint some people. But many people will breathe easier. Farmers, people living in low-lying areas, people who work on the street, street sleepers, …
In the mean time, many of us are already back in the office. Some are preparing for the class this evening.
