I wish you luck. When was the last time your area experienced such weather prospect. We had a typhoon 10 a few years ago, and the kids could not go to school for a week because the short 2-3 kilometers of roads, along with the rest of HK, were completely blocked by very large fallen trees.

Re <<luck>> Nearly time for our turn. Am not certain, but always believed our storms on this side of Pacific twist differently than your storms in the Atlantic. The speed of our Chanthu (145 miles per hour) is comparable to your Ida (150 at landfall point), but predicted to not hit HK head-on. Kids are excited for a typhoon day. Our home should be okay, storm shutters and such. Need food, and shall remember to stock up tomorrow. Am less sure about our garden’s robustness. Mangkhut in 2018 was fierce at 177 miles per hour and was a direct hit on HK, and stopped schools for a week due to street blockages all along the ways from everywhere to everywhere. edition.cnn.com Rapidly-intensifying Typhoon Chanthu headed for Taiwan and southern China Hong Kong (CNN) — A typhoon headed toward Taiwan and the southern coast of China is rapidly gaining in speed and strength ahead of an expected landfall later this week. Typhoon Chanthu has rapidly intensified in the past 36 hours from a tropical depression into a severe typhoon, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, with maximum wind speeds of up to 233 kilometers per hour (145 miles per hour). It is likely Chanthu will expand into a super typhoon in the coming hours. Given the trajectory of the storm, it is still unclear whether Chanthu will first pass over Taiwan before it slams into southern China or narrowly miss the island. Either way, at its current pace, the storm is estimated to make landfall on either Saturday or Sunday. Typhoon Chanthu is just one of two dangerous weather systems which are barreling across the western Pacific. Severe Tropical Storm Conson made landfall in the Philippines overnight on Monday and will pass over the country before it heads north towards China's Hainan Island. Conson is seeing wind speeds of up to 112 kph (70 mph). According to CNN Philippines, while warning signals were hoisted across the storm's path, no major damage has been reported so far. Chanthu is likely to be the strongest storm to hit Taiwan or mainland China since Typhoon In-fa in July, which worsened already severe flooding across China's southeast. In total, the economic losses from the typhoon and the flooding came to more than $14 billion, according to Chinese state-run media. Sent from my iPad
