Looks very disorganised this morning but many, including HKO (In their usual half assed way) are predicting a TC by Monday/Tuesday...There is a strong ridge of high pressure that would tend to push it south if it develops....anyway, let's have another look this evening.
My husband and I have been observing the tides along the south Lantau beaches lately. Much more turbulent wave activity despite sunny weather and calm breeze with more rips and undertows, high tides ebbing later in the day.....anyone here an expert on this on forum? Lived here a year now, and the calm seems to have become unsettled.
Here the weather forecast as issued at 12 o'clock Greenwich Meaning Time by the Ugandan Metrological Office.
They been up on the Air Ministry Roof and it pissing down with rain.
That the end of the weather forecast.
91W is 750 kilometres South East of us now. HKO might name it this afternoon.
As someone who has lived in tornado alley, and in Hong Kong there is no comparing a tornado to a typhoon. A tornado is way more powerful and scary. Tornados can throw cars and completely level houses.
As long as you seek decent shelter in a typhoon you are ok. Windows rarely even get blown out.
Even Hurricanes are much worse than typhoons.
Most Americans I know, who experience their first big typhoon in Hong Kong say the same thing afterwards... "That's it?". That's just because tornados and hurricanes are much more powerful and devastating.
