Weather pr0n
A seriously cold front began to surge across a little island in the South China Sea at 4pm this afternoon. The temperature dropped as fast as the Hang Seng Index on a really bad day. And what had been balmy 10km/hr winds turned into hang-on-to-your-hat, leaf-stripping 60km/hr gales.
Awesome!
Awesome!
