Blue sky and sunshine? Many others are battling for the strongest ever storm ahead of weekend
Predicted to be the most powerful storm since records began in Hong Kong history. This is no joke! When I typed typhoon on Google search, it shows an SOS alert for Philippines and Hong Kong. I don’t ever see such a thing on Google and I guess it is pretty devastating.
“The maximum sustained winds of up to 240km/h (149mph) - Hong Kong Observatory”
The above table depicted well how serious the coming typhoon will be. 240km/h is certainly a record breaking in a bad way!
In order to enjoy the last minute blue sky and sunshine, I decided to make my step to Aberdeen harbour, one of the ship havens, once a fishing village and now a popular spot for tourists. I was just OMG of what in front of me. I have never ever seen this at Aberdeen. It jammed with fisherman boats avoiding unforeseeable incident.
Wait a minute, what so unusual for ships park in haven and everyone is busying to find a shelter while you just enjoying an end-of-world sunshine?
The unconventional refuge lies in a drainage system. Yep, You got it! Animals often predict natural disaster before our devices tell us. The below picture is an open sewage channel which connect to the harbour. Turtles and fishes are swimming in it.
This unusual phenomenon is about non-local species found in the Hong Kong marine life. People must abandon them and adopted here, in the drainage. How cruel!
From what I see, there were six of them including Red-eared sliders and a Matamata Turtle. If they know the war is coming, are you ready to combat the storm?
