Super typhoon hits Hong Kong

Summary

23 September 2013

A super typhoon has hit Hong Kong on its way to south China. Typhoon Usagi has killed at least 25 people in Guangdong province, south China, but Hong Kong has escaped the worst of the storm.

Reporter:

Juliana Liu

Report

The streets of Hong Kong, one of the world's most densely1 packed cities, are eerily2 quiet. Residents had been preparing for days for a super typhoon, the worst in decades. 

But the storm weakened on its way to south China. Though there has been damage caused, it has been far less than originally anticipated. 

About a dozen people here have sought treatment in hospital. There has been some flooding, and of course, hundreds of flights have been cancelled. 

With the wind and rain abating3, the city is likely to return to business as usual by mid-morning.·
