Storm chasing videos from Hong Kong
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AA9Qmk-EhlI&t=13shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QoC3ccihp0According to surface observations, the urban areas in Hong Kong were probably affected by sustained storm-force winds, and some outlying islands were affected by sustained hurricane-force winds. IMO the winds brought by Hato were slightly more violent than that brought by Vicente back in 2012, but still weaker than a lot of typhoons that required hoisting Hurricane Signal No.10 (the highest signal). Of course, the storm surge brought by Hato was much more significant.
Macau and Zhuhai, which are hit by the core, are suffering the most. Most of the area is still suffering from major power failure, and there are now 8 fatalities confirmed in Macau. Hope the people in these two cities are safe.
