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
