Super Typhoon USAGI

[drumbrake]

I believe that t8 will end most likely 10am tomorrow,

I think you are being a little optimistic. I think earlier - at or before 7:00.

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…

I wonder what words you're keeping in reserve for storms that do more than knock over your flowerpots?

I am assuming he was quoting from HKO or somewhere.

What I find amazing is the difference across HK, which is really quite a small place (though I understand the hills will have a lot to do with that).

You see, that's the thing. The wind where you are at may only be strong enough to knock over your flower pots, but where I or he maybe, the wind may be a bit stronger than just causing overturned flowerpots. Remember, wind condition is different for different parts of the city due to geographical condition and also wind direction. You can have parts of the city with almost no wind and another part of the city blowing gale.

And when you have been in Trafalgar all day your observation skills may be blunted

Very windy here in Pokfulam... More so than your usual T8

Let's compare notes in the morning. You live in Mid-levels mate, many of us live in villages that have trees and are at the foot of mountains...my commentary isn't for you.

FYI, my 'flowerpots' are about 1.5 feet tall, weigh around 80/90 kilograms including soil and palm trees...

Quoting from Pacific Storms...

So why no T9 or 10? It's much windier than that T8 in August.
