Alerte 9 ! Le typhon Nuri droit devant

Depuis que nous sommes à Hong Kong, c'est la première fois que nous aurons connu l'alerte 9 !
Le typhon Nuri, provenant des Philippines, annoncé comme très violent, a traversé Hong Kong cet après-midi. C'est le plus violent que HK ait connu depuis septembre 2003.

=> on le localise ci-dessous, avec la croix rouge représentant HK, le sigle violet localisant le typhon à 14h (on voit donc bien qu'il se dirige droit sur HK).

Tropical Cyclone Bulletin

Here is the latest Tropical Cyclone Bulletin issued by the Hong Kong Observatory.

The Increasing Gale or Storm Signal, No. 9, is in force.

This means that winds are expected to increase significantly as Nuri moves closer to Hong Kong.

At 3 p.m., Typhoon Nuri was centred about 20 kilometres east of Hong Kong Observatory (near 22.3 degrees north 114.4 degrees east) over the sea areas near Sai Kung and is forecast to move northwest at about 14 kilometres per hour towards eastern New Territories.

Nuri is expected to cross Hong Kong in the next few hours. Gales are affecting many parts of the territory, whereas storm force winds are recorded in some places.

In the past hour, the maximum sustained winds recorded at Sai Kung, Waglan Island and Chek Lap Kok were 96, 87 and 78 kilometres per hour respectively.

(Precautionary Announcements)

1. Do not go outside. If you are reasonably protected, stay where you are and keep well away from all windows. Close all interior doors and make sure children are confined to the least exposed part of your home. On no account should you touch electric cables that have been blown loose.

2. If the eye of the typhoon passes directly over Hong Kong, there may be a temporary lull lasting from a few minutes to several hours. This will be followed by a sudden resumption of violent winds from a different direction. Remain where you are if protected and be prepared for destructive winds and the change in wind directions. Listen to broadcast warnings.

3. Since seas are very rough, you are advised to stay away from the shoreline and not to engage in water sports.

A Parkview, nous avons eu droit à beaucoup de vent et de pluie, mais aucun dégât comme ça était le cas à d'autres endroits de HK.

En ouvrant la fenêtre, voici à quoi le typhon ressemblait chez nous :

Chacun est plus ou moins bloqué chez soi quand il y a un typhon.
