As has been on the news Hong Kong has sustained a fair amount of damage from Typhoon Mangkhut. Hong Kongers are now coping with the aftermath with damage to MTR rail lines, loads of fallen / damaged trees and no bus services running.
Forum members may be interested in the photo gallery in this South China Morning Post article. The 8th photo of 16 shows a lot of KMB double deckers wedged tight inside a parking area. The crowding on the MTR was also something to be seen! There is also other video footage of the actual typhoon conditions - very scary. I think I'd have been terrified if forced to remain inside a hi rise hotel room while that was going on. I've never encountered typhoon conditions on my visits to HK and the damage this time is something else.
