Hong Kong: post Bopha

Well, a little island in the South China Sea had about an hour of thunder and lightning last night and then all was peace and quiet. If there was anything, Mister B knows not, having slept soundly.

Tropical cyclone Bopah is still southeast of hereabouts, but has weakened to a tropical depression. Bopha is making its (irregular) way further westwards. The Number One is still up.

Elsewhere, to the north, tropical typhoon Saomai has passed the north end of Taiwan and is roaring toward mainland China's Fujian and Zhejiang provinces.
