The Hong Kong Observatory send out Hurricane Signal
No. 10 , Typhoon Center might be very close to or even over downtown Hong Kong.
When the eye passes over Hong Kong, the storm weakened, the clouds go thin,
even brief sunshine, but do not think that the crisis has passed and have
diminished, due to inclement weather will be back within a few minutes to a few
hours. Typhoon Hong Kong, blowing southerly wind and rain may be stronger than
previously. Under the influence of land, Hong Kong Typhoon swept through Hong
Kong will be affected by wind. As the Typhoon passed South of the Centre in
Hong Kong, blowing East to Southeast of Hong Kong, the greatest impact. Instead
such as the Typhoon skirted North of the Centre in Hong Kong, Hong Kong North
to northwesterly winds blowing, wind is blocked. Tenth Hurricane signal no
wind, there will not be a long time before the issue of early warning signal,
does not announce in advance even issued the tenth. When the hurricane signal
after the lifting, the Observatory will direct its signal was replaced by the
eighth non-Ninth signals, signal would increase its tenth, flying time and
speeding up the lowering of signal flow, Tenth Hurricane signal indicates that
the Typhoon is very close to the Centre of Hong Kong as Hong Kong enters the
eye near the Centre district and the rain will increase, but due to the wind
has reached extremely high levels, rain most of the horizontal-type blows
rather than a self-contained ground, the general public will feel wind and does
not feel particularly heavy rain.
As the above said, I think MTR is
doing well in this case, because when you get out from the MTR station it must
more danger so stay on indoor will more safely. But some passengers do not want
to stranded on platform, they will take a taxi to back home, but I think MTR Company
should compensate some passengers. But the best way is to stay left safe place to
avoid accidents.
