QUOTE(nordingh @ Apr 7 2012, 02:51 AM) Be ready for the Typhoon. Yup, that was just the day before we arrived HK. On our first day there, typhoon signal #1, then became signal #3 over night. During the day, a bit windy and scattered rains. Went to the museum of Coastal Defence, but was restricted to visiting the indoor display only, the outdoor area was cordoned off. On the day we left, seems like was getting worse and it was heavy rain on the way to HKIA. Lucky to be back without flight delayed.Last year news Sept. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Central Hong Kong's streets were emptied as Typhoon Nesat swept gale-force winds and rain into the city. Banks including HSBC Holdings Plc and Standard Chartered Plc closed branches, and Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd. canceled equities and futures trading for the day. The storm felled trees and ripped bamboo scaffolding from buildings, while bus, tram and ferry services were suspended and at least 38 flights were delayed at the airport.
