    Indeed - I shall be spending Sunday afternoon (and maybe into the evening) in Trafalgar Scrabbling (and drinking).

    No panic in TKO yet, at least the supermarkets are still stocked up, including the cheap water bottles. Bakeries are selling out though.

    You would think that people can survive 1/2 day without food or water!
    Yes they can but why would anyone do that if it can be avoided.

    Our catchup this week could get delayed if your flight is!

    Jason's marketplace was crowded earlier and nearly out of bread. Do people use it to reinforce their windows?

    Yes but it's not rational buying but panic buying. When you see housewives buying up all the noodles, toilet rolls, meat and water you would think that the 3 minute warning has sounded.

    Now 3 out of 6 stations forecasting either a direct hit of Hong Kong or southern pass.

    That's bad news. A pass to the East would mean a softening of the blow by the terrain...

    Not necessarily.

    The path is more important.
