Yesterday morning's rain and winds brought chaos, destruction and death. A little island got off lightly, with maximum winds of 74 km/hr. On the Big Island, grid lock. Kowloon, signage and bamboo scaffolding collapses. Twenty-three containers in four stacks at Hong Kong International Terminals port were toppled by 135 km/hr winds. It took firemen three hours to lift three of the containers off one truck in which a driver was trapped. The driver, Chan Shui-sang (47), was certified dead at the scene. Commiserations to his family, work colleagues, and friends.
More heavy rains and winds this morning. Then it all stopped. Just like that. Back to bright sunshine.
