Super Typhoon Usagi, 'world's strongest storm of 2013', heading for Hong Kong

[vantagebox]

To make matters worse, super typhoon Usagi is barreling towards HK and then southeast China (where FT is based I believe). Monster storm with a diameter of 1,100 kilometers (680 miles) and up to 140mph winds:

Horrible, scary storm, that will be.

I can just hear the whiners, in the middle of this natural disaster, yelling that they don't care about any dang storm, they just want their stuff...

Just seen this and went to post, hope they make out ok. Looks terrifying.





(selfishly hope my package makes it ok too)

Oh no, that sounds pretty scary! I hope every one is ok when the storm hits, but I really want my package. I've been waiting two weeks on the HK post office to do anything with it except let it sit there.

The typhoon at about 3 a.m. local time Monday (3 p.m. ET) was 60 miles north-northwest and moving away from Hong Kong as it weakened into less-powerful, but still potentially-damaging cyclone.

"Hong Kong witnessed low-end tropical storm conditions, with maximum sustained winds around 40 mph and gusts to 50 mph. About 4 inches of rain fell."
