A Super Typhoon (a.k.a. hurricane in USA) stroke Hong Kong last Monday, it was rated level 10 - the highest level, and the strongest for 13 years.

This photo was taken on Saturday, on the way back from a boat trip. It was a fine day, well...until....

10 minutes before reaching the shores.

There were a lot of boats out that day.

Broken windows (not my home luckily)

Trees leaning like Michael Jackson, most palm trees survived, other less aerodynamic trees did not, and there were fallen trees EVERYWHERE.

YIKES! Being on the water would have made me a tad uneasy! Great captures.


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

Menacing. I like no.3 the best. Looks like all the boats are racing for safety.

Wow - great shots. Really like the third one with all the boats. It really gives a feeling of panic to get in before the storm hits.
