Typhoon #1

That feeling, when you wake up on a weekday and there's an observatory warning to stay indoors. Typhoon Hato was hands down the worse typhoon that I have experienced in Hong Kong. Incessant howling of the wind, the perpetual clattering of debris and an endless stream of social media updates: Fallen trees, flooded walk ways and the window cleaner trolley. The T10 signal lasted for the majority of the day, only to be lowered after 6 pm.

Learnt something about Typhoon naming conventions with all the spare time at home. Boy, need to get out of this apartment, I'm starting to get cabin fever.
