Typhoon Nuri Hits Hong Kong on 22/08/2008

Dear Friends & Families,

I like what I told you at the previous post that i would like to inform you that on last Friday was back from work early because the Hong Kong market was closed for the whole day because Hong Kong has been hit by typhoon Nuri. Hong Kong’s Observatory raised signal 8 at the morning before 8am morning. By night Hong Kong’s Observatory raised another time and the signal  rose to 9. “Signal 9!”

OMYG! by raising to signal 9 everyone in Hong Kong were advised to stay at home and some prepare some precautions measures like taping the glass windows and stay indoors. This storm has killed 3 person from the daily I read. The Chinese were worried because the Olympics games was still going on. The typhoon Nuri move to center of Hong Kong around evening and slowly move to Guangzhou. At the Hong Kong territories it has recorded of wind speed of 94kph or 58mph. It was one of the worst hit in the history so far. The previous one was typhoon Dujuan on September 2003.

Here is some Video Clips I got it from youtube.
