While Mister Bijou was asleep someone upgraded a merely severe tropical storm up to a headstrong typhoon (click image to enlarge). According to Hong Kong Observatory, Typhoon Damrey is about 400km south-southwest of Hong Kong and moving west at about 12km/hr. Towards Hainan Island, where they should already have battened down the hatches.
The Obs say winds at the centre of Damrey are achieving 140km/hr. A little island in the South China Sea is experiencing wind speeds up to 98km/hr. Other than the gusty winds? Locally, occasional sunshine, occasional rain. Later today, Mister Bijou is taking the 3:30pm ferry into town -- should be an enjoyable ride! The Number Three is still up.
