Ze maken er wel werk van hier in Hong Kong. 
Is net een 8 warning afgegeven:
 quote:Gale or storm force wind is expected or blowing generally in Hong Kong near sea level, with a sustained wind speed of 63-117 km/h from the quarter indicated and gusts which may exceed 180 km/h, and the wind condition is expected to persist. Winds are normally expected to reach gale force generally in Hong Kong within 12 hours after the No.8 signal replaces the No.3 signal.
Action - Complete all precautions now before gales commence. Lock all windows and doors. Fit bars into positions and insert reinforced shutters and gates if available. Adhesive tape fixed to large window panes in exposed positions will reduce damage by broken glass.
Do not stand near windows on the exposed side of your home. Move all furniture and valuables away from these areas. Make sure you have a safe place to shelter, should windows be broken. Now is the time to decide which rooms you will use to shelter if the windows on the exposed side of your home become broken.
Owners of neon signs should arrange for the electricity supply to their signs to be switched off.
Park your car where it is least likely to be damaged.
Avoid staying in the street. Return home as soon as possible if conditions so permit. En over een paar uur waarschijnlijk nummer 9 (volgens mij de op één na hoogste):
 quote:Gale or storm force wind is increasing or expected to increase significantly in strength.
Action - Stay indoors. Stay away from exposed windows and doors to avoid flying debris. Close all interior doors and make sure children are confined to the least exposed part of your home. Do not touch electrical cables that have been blown loose. You should fix broken windows and doors only when there is no danger in doing so.
If you are away from home, find a safe place and remain there until the danger is over. In alle (nou ja, veel) winkels, kantoren, etc. zijn waarschuwingen aangebracht, veel personeel (vooral die buiten werken, antenne's e.d.) is naar huis gestuurd, etc.
Spannend. 
Ben wel wat gewend met hurricane season in Haiti, maar toch: spannend. 
Dit was een paar weken geleden:

Laat je het weten als je nog leeft? Lijkt me stiekem wel gaaf, die harde wind enzo  |

Een paar druppeltjes, that's it. 
Nu maar hopen dat het wat erger wordt, schijnt vanaf 14:00 lokale tijd los te gaan. |
