    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.

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

    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).
