    Absolute fizzer this storm. Not even enough to knock my washing off my balcony.

    I'm very, very disappointed

    There, there, your chance will come - Northwesterly winds are now affecting Hong Kong and some parts of the territory are sheltered. However, when gales turn to the southwest tomorrow morning, currently sheltered areas will become exposed. That from the current HKO bulletin.

    Meanwhile, on the other side of So Kwun Wat from INXS, the wind is very loud in the treetops, but there's so little at ground level that I'm still airing the place out with all the windows open (but I will close them before I go to bed).

    Yes, not like the T10 last year...I stepped outside to do a video like I just have last year....lasted about 10 seconds and went back in with no video!! The wind still isn't 'sustained' yet, just very strong gusts.

    Mr. Elle decided to make bacon omelettes, to be washed down with Sauvignon Blanc while watching The Lord of the Rings...
    No no no no! This is not good! I'm moving to DB (La Costa) in a few days. I want trees and pretty seating areas. Damn typhoons!

    I think a tree has gone thru someone's window just down the road at La Serene, the fire services have been down there a while.

    Gale Force to Storm Force northwesterly winds are blowing over Hong Kong… Winds will go on strengthening as USAGI edges closer… Wind speed may reach Hurricane Force briefly over parts of the territory if the cyclone moves within 100 km of Hong Kong… Wind direction will become southwest tomorrow morning after USAGI moves past the longitude of Hong Kong… Please take necessary measures to prevent loss IMMEDIATELY… USAGI is a very dangerous cyclone…

    If you like at the radar imagery at the HKO site, you will see northern NT is now just touching the outer edge of the main eyewall of the typhoon. So yes, it will get more windy as the night progress.
