Hong Kong is submerged! China has never seen a flood of such magnitude! Typhoon Haikui

Hong Kong is submerged! China has never seen a flood of such magnitude! Typhoon Haikui Natural disaster 8 September 2023. Record rainfall in Hong Kong caused widespread flooding on Friday, closing schools and disrupting road and rail traffic. The city’s weather agency said 158 millimeters of rain fell per hour in the hour before midnight, the highest since records began in 1884. Authorities in the Chinese city said various areas were flooded and emergency services were carrying out rescue operations. Members of the public were ordered to remain in a safe location. Residents living close to rivers should closely monitor weather conditions and consider evacuating if their homes become flooded. No injuries were reported. By early morning, taxis were trudging through flooded roads as morning commuters tried to get to work. Roads were also flooded on Lantau Island, where flooded rivers poured into the sea. Authorities announced that schools had been “suspended due to extreme conditions“ and cargo clearance services had also been suspended. Hong Kong has announced that Shenzhen is preparing to release water from its reservoir, which could lead to flooding in the northern parts of the city. The city’s public transport railway announced disruptions to one of its lines after a station was flooded. Earlier this week, Typhoon Haikui left a trail of destruction across Taiwan before making landfall in China’s Fujian province. The Hong Kong Observatory said the latest heavy rain was caused by “low pressure associated with the remnants of Haikui.“ The previous weekend, southern China was hit by two typhoons in a row - Saola and Haikui - although Hong Kong avoided a dangerous direct hit. Tens of millions of people in the densely populated coastal regions of southern China sheltered in their homes ahead of hurricanes. The most current news of natural changes on Earth.
