Starting a thread of various videos today in HK and Shenzhen as the world’s strongest storm #TyphoonManghkut wiping our cities. (Videos are not mine but collected from messages doing the rounds w WhatsApp and WeChat)

Someone’s apartment in the east side of HK

Shek’O beach

High rise building swinging in #TyphoonManghkut #HK

When the warning says stay inside, stay inside. #TyphoonManghkut #HK

Shenzhen Meishawan Hotel #TyphoonManghkut

Lost cargos in Shenzhen #TyhoonMangkhut

East side of HK. Water surge #TyphoonManghkut

Hopefully all confidential documents are locked inside safes. #TyphoonManghkut #HK

Keep denying #ClimateChange, keep take no actions, people! #TyphoonManghkut #HK

A crane just came down #TyphoonManghkut #HK

Could’ve been a footage from #BladeRunner2049 #TyhoonMangkhut

Shenzhen

Many trees have fallen. It’s crazy to drive in this condition. #TyhoonMangkhut #HK

An office tower in Hung Hom. As I’m posting my own building is moving. The storm is screaming outside. I’m never this terrified. Hope everyone stay safe. 🙏🌏 #TyphoonManghkut #HK

Highest respect to HK’s firefighters going through street to street right now cutting and cleaning fallen trees and brunches in the middle of #TyhoonMangkhut This is terrifying but #HK will be back to normal tomorrow. I ❤️ this city.

What is more concerning than shaking buildings is that #TyhoonMangkhut will directly hit #YangJiangNuclear Power Plant tonight at 190kmh this early evening. If damages or leaks we would have to evacuate. 🙏🙏🌏🙏

There goes someone’s yacht. I heard many yachts have sunken or been smashed to the shore. 😥#TyphoonManghkut #HK

Tornado in Yuen Long. Hope no one got hurt. Unclear the damage and where was the flash happened when the tornado passed. #TyphoonManghkut #HK

Middle Island #HK #TyphoonManghkut

Here is a different angle of the crane came down. Hope nobody was hurt. Watch it with sound. We are still surrounded by this sound. #TyhoonMangkhut #HK

Aftermath for some of #HK’s boat owners. #TyphoonManghkut

A multimillion yacht floating free.. #TyhoonMangkhut
