Unprecedented rainfall wreaked havoc in Hong Kong last Friday, flooding metro stations and trapping drivers. With the highest hourly rainfall since 1884, the city was thrown into chaos, leading to school closures and business disruptions. The extreme weather came on the heels of Typhoon Saola, which had also severely affected the city. Roads became impassable torrents, with rescue operations underway to assist stranded motorists. Transport services like the Mass Transit Railway, major bus, tram and ferry routes were severely affected or halted. This severe downpour even led to rocks and debris from landslides blocking the roads, making the situation even more precarious for residents. Footage showed floodwaters gushing into subway stations and even into the first floors of some buildings. Injuries were reported, and the government warned that such extreme conditions would likely continue. Meanwhile, the neighbouring city of Shenzhen also experienced record-breaking rain, affecting transport and leading to school closures. The two cities braced for further extreme weather conditions, raising concerns about travel and public safety.
