Number 8 Typhoon Signal in Hong Kong

The Hong Kong Observatory has announced that a number 8 typhoon signal is expected to be hoisted within the next hour. The Government advises that members of the public with long or difficult journeys, or those having to return to outlying Islands, should begin their journey now.

If the number 8 signal is actually hoisted, all other staff that wish to commute home are encouraged to do so at any time, but are strongly advised to take appropriate safety precautions until the number 8 signal is lowered. Those with critical coverage responsibilities please confirm with your manager to ensure the appropriate coverage is achieved.

We expect the office to return to normal operation if the number 8 signal is lowered during normal business hours.

(I love weird weather phenomena. super duper excited. antsies in my pantsies. i want to go home and play Resistance: FALL OF MAN!)

it was, but it was a let down. i didn't see anything flying around in the wind...it just got dark earlier than normal and slightly colder. i was hoping i'd have to dodge newspapers and buckets on my way home...instead, i was just dodging little asian ppl like usual.
