Typhoon Nuri
Hello Typhoon Nuri - welcome to Hong Kong! At 1.40pm today Nuri is very close indeed and looks increasingly likely to hit us. The wind has picked up a lot here - the view of the harbour from our place is mostly obscured by rain and cloud, but the seas are the roughest I've seen. There were a few cruise ships moored nearby earlier today, but they've moved further into the harbour for shelter. All buses, ferries, and trains have been canceled. We're sitting back enjoying the sound of the wind. I wonder how much stuff will go flying off people's balconies if the typhoon gets any closer?
