I am in Hong Kong today. Luckily I am in meetings the whole day, because outside the weather is extremely bad. Just received this announcement:
BLACK RAINSTORM WARNING SIGNAL SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ISSUED BY THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY AT 11:15 A.M.
THE RAINSTORM WARNING SIGNAL IS NOW BLACK. THIS MEANS THAT HEAVY RAIN HAS FALLEN OR IS EXPECTED TO FALL GENERALLY OVER HONG KONG, EXCEEDING 70 MILLIMETRES IN AN HOUR, AND IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE.
BECAUSE OF SERIOUSLY FLOODED ROADS AND INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS, YOU ARE ADVISED TO TAKE SHELTER IN A SAFE PLACE AND STAY THERE. PARENTS, STUDENTS, SCHOOL AUTHORITIES AND SCHOOL-BUS DRIVERS SHOULD LISTEN TO RADIO OR TELEVISION ANNOUNCEMENTS ON SCHOOLS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRAVEL UNTIL THE BLACK RAINSTORM WARNING SIGNAL IS NO LONGER IN FORCE AND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS HAVE IMPROVED.
PLEASE LISTEN TO RADIO OR WATCH TELEVISION FOR TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AND FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS ON THE RAINSTORM.
I was hoping to have a nice outside dinner tonight, but I guess that won’t work out.
