defrogHong Kong is SHUT DOWN.
Interestingly, Severe Typhoon Utor isn’t all that close to us. It’s something like 250 km down the coast. But it’s big enough and windy enough that we’re feeling it enough to justify a Signal 8 – which is high enough to shut down offices and public transport.
Which means a day off for me. For once. Most typhoons recently seem to have arrived at 1am and left town in time for work while we stay up all night managing window leaks.
Utor is no different in terms of arrival time, but there hasn’t been all that much rain so far, and Utor has been crawling towards the coast, so we actually got some sleep.
Everyone knows it’s windy,
This is dF
