Tropical cyclone Damrey (click to enlarge image) has been dithering about in the South China Sea for a couple of days. According to Hong Kong Observatory, Damrey has intensified into a severe tropical storm. Which explains why so many local trawlers are now tidely anchored together in the typhoon shelter of a little island in the South China Sea.
Currently (thanks, Obs!), the centre of the storm is about 370 kilometres southeast of Hong Kong. Damrey is moving very slowly (12km/h) west. Tropical Cyclone Signal No 1 has been hoisted. The Number Three may go up overnight. No rain, yet. No drama, either. The rain will arrive on Saturday. As usual, another wet weekend.
