am wondering about this building (highcliff building.com.hk ) on stubbs road that i pass on way to town whenever i commute across the mountain instead of through the tunnel

it is very thin and needle-like, features a compensating water tank to offset wind-effect - very hightech - but the building has been around since 2003

am wondering whether they maintained the tank properly, and updated the windows (i am kidding, but do not know) operating system of the computer that does the calculations for the water tank operation

Sounds like doom out there, even through the storm shutters.

We are now at Typhoon 10, expecting 12. 12 isn’t even part of the usual scale!

Now 2:44pm Sunday. Forecast say typhoon would be ‘downgraded’ to 8 by 6:00am Monday. Typhoon 8 is a big typhoon for HK.
