Well, Vicente has come and gone. And if you follow me on the Facebooks, you know that Vicente went from standard-issue tropical storm to Severe Typhoon, and instead of skirting well to the southwest of us, it ended up sideswiping us with hurricane-force winds.
Consequently, the HK Observatory raised the No. 10 warning signal – the highest one they have. The last time they used it was 1999.
Subsequently, I was up all night on Leak Management duty. Also, the wind blew so hard that the high-rise apartment block I live in was swaying.
SWAYING.
So I am beat, yes. Though it could be worse – the media is reporting 50 injuries.
Anyway, I went down to the plaza in my village to catch the ferry to the office this morning, and saw this.
About eight trees flattened, all facing the same direction.
So yeah, we got smacked. Still, it’s not like we all ended up stranded in the Superdome or anything, so I shouldn’t complain.
Up all night,
This is dF
