A couple of cyclonic storms in the South China Sea. The larger one, on the left is affecting Hong Kong right now. When in this part of the world, the worst storms are alled Typhoons, Damrey has only reached evere Tropical Storm status. Thats a level below Typhoon, which is the same as a Hurricaine in the western Hemispere. I justwent for a quick walk on the coast...FUN!!! I could lean at a very steep angle without falling. And watch the wind beat spray off the surface of the sea and whip it accross the water at close to a hundren kmph.....into my baby-soft face. I just came back inside and I look like Charlton Heston after God gave him the Ten Commandments!

Hey Nizzer!! I heard the storms were headed your way and panicked!! I was madly looking all over the net for information on how strong they were going to be when they reached you, but nowhere was that detailed so i'm really glad you put this post up on yer blog!! So...... is it no worse than the ones you've already suffered over there???? Put my mind at rest bro... keep havin "daymares" about you flyin round inside a tornado Wizard of Oz style!!
Its ok kaz, thanks, these storms don't seem to cause HK many problems. In the countryside surounding the city there's landslides and some flooding but usually very little damage to buildings.
Phew!!
;-)
nicely put. I really get the 'creature feeling' when nature lets rip. Hope you guys in the USA don't get anymore hurricaines curling up into the southern states. God bless.
