HONG KONG: Record rainfall in Hong Kong caused widespread flooding in the early hours of Friday (Sep 8), disrupting road and rail traffic just days after the city dodged major damage from a super typhoon.
The Hong Kong Observatory, the city's weather agency, reported hourly rainfall of 158.1mm at its headquarters in the hour leading up to midnight, the highest since records began in 1884.
Late on Thursday, authorities in the city said various districts had been flooded and emergency services were conducting rescue operations. Members of the public were instructed to stay in a safe place.
"Heavy rain will bring flash floods," the observatory warned. "Residents living in close proximity to rivers should stay alert to weather conditions and should consider evacuation" if their homes are flooded, it added.
No injuries were reported in the early hours of Friday.
