The Morning After

Super Typhoon Mangkhut, the strongest in wind speed to hit Hong Kong, buffeted the city with monstrous winds, waves and floods yesterday. The Hong Kong Observatory hoisted the first No 8 signal of the year at 1.10am yesterday as Mangkhut approached. It raised it to No 9 six hours later and to the highest, No 10, at 9.40am, during which Mangkhut slowed from a super typhoon to a severe typhoon. No 10 stayed up until 7.40pm, when it was lowered to No 8.

We went up the Bowen Drive this morning as usual after a day of rest to find no trace of Ginger but only fallen trees and leaves everywhere.   As we were near Bowen Garden we found the new comer meowing to us asking for food.  We gave her a whole can of fish and some dry food.  She must be very hungry that she finished all in no time.
