Half of Hong Kong is underwater! The worst flood in history in China after Typhoon Haikui

Half of Hong Kong is underwater! The worst flood in history in China after Typhoon Haikui

Natural disaster 8 September 2023.

Asian financial hub Hong Kong was drenched in the heaviest rain on Friday since records began 140 years ago. As a result, 83 people were injured, media reported.
The video shows water cascading down steep slopes in the former British colony, flooding shopping centres, metro stations and tunnels.
The extreme weather also brought chaos to the nearby Chinese city of Shenzhen, a technology hub of more than 17.7 million people. At the same time, business and transport links through the economically important Pearl River Delta were seriously affected.
The heavy rain was caused by Typhoon Haikui, which made landfall in China's Fujian province on Tuesday. Although it weakened to a tropical depression, its slow-moving clouds dumped huge amounts of rain across the area.
