Super Typhoon USAGI

Crap. All that build up. All the expectation of being able to sleep jet lag off all day today. May as well head into work at normal time

We got some heavy wind and rain here in Macau right now.

Yeah, same on Lantau

EDB has announced all day and AM schools are cancelled

Looks like all the workshy slackers going to be upset

Thanks for the info and updates - since at least 3 people seem to be posting from Gold Coast, can anyone see the Marina and comment? Sounds like we missed the worst of if, but it would be nice to get confirmation that home is still there!

This is video has either moved or is not available due to privacy settings. Which is a shame as I'd really liked to have seen what GC was looking like!

still doesn't look too good here around tai wai but don't see this continuing for the whole day. just going to watch football until t8 is off I guess...

I remember a local colleague told me there was once a typhoon everybody thought was over but than made somewhat of a U-turn and hammered the city real good. Anybody can confirm that story and how likely is that Usagi could stay a T8 longer than just until early tomorrow morning, e.g. by moving out to the sea and gaining strength again?

I think he or she was talking about typhoon Pabuk in 2007.

I love reading stories like this. Are people really that dumb. Typhoon forecast for at least 4 days. Situation changeable. Oh yeah let's blame the airline

Not even raining in Kowloon. Few leaves scattered around . MTR about half as busy as normal.
