Typhoon usually don't start until like May / June or even July yet due to the Elina (?sp) effect Typhoon Neoguri hit us as early as mid April - as a matter of fact it's the 2nd earliest in the yr since after the WWII (wow... not that it matters!) :P Nevertheless from the latest update (as below pict) i think it'll be darn close to HK on Sat night lor... (yet even it's #8 we won't benefit from a typhoon holiday..)
Not that I think it's good to have such type of holiday (seriously think of some poor ppl might not have good shelter)....
Reminds me about last visit of one of Macau's light towers - still remember it has all the typhoon signs inside one of the buildings (during non-typhoon time of course) and we messed around w/ it? *or i should just say ME* those are the HUGH ONE use for hanging out the light tower during real typhoon time....
anyway... hope the weather won't be too bad during the wkend....
P.S. I don't know what's the difference between "TROPICAL CYCLONE" vs. Typhoon? I remember all along (as I grown up) we learn the word "typhoon" but the HK observatory (as well as most other US / overseas weather channels) use the word tropical cyclone... hmmmm...
