The first suspension of the typhoon ball

20 12 at 0: 45 am on July 24th, Typhoon Vicente changed its path and raided Hong Kong. Hong Kong changed the signal of Hurricane No.10. During the passage of the typhoon, more than1000 citizens were injured.

It was originally predicted that the typhoon "Vicente" passing through Hong Kong suddenly changed its moving path and attacked Hong Kong strongly. The Hong Kong Observatory hoisted tropical cyclone warning signals No.3 and No.8 on the 23rd and typhoon signal No.10 at 0: 45am on the 24th. This is the highest tropical cyclone warning hoisted in Hong Kong after Typhoon York on 1999. During the typhoon hit Hong Kong, there were many tree collapses, floods and landslides in Hong Kong, resulting in more than 100 people being injured.

Within one day, the Hong Kong Observatory adjusted the tropical cyclone warning signal several times: First, the typhoon signal No.3 was hoisted at 5: 20 am on the 23rd; The weather in Hong Kong changed suddenly in the afternoon, and the No.8 northeast gale or storm signal was changed at night 17: 40; After that, the storm became more and more violent. At 23: 20, it was changed to gale or storm signal No.9, and it rose to hurricane signal 10 in the early morning of the 24th. Nearly three hours after the No.10 hurricane signal was hoisted, Vicente began to stay away from Hong Kong and changed to the No.8 southeast gale or storm signal. ..

The Meteorological Observatory predicts that the wind will gradually ease during the day on the 24th, and there will be huge waves, dense clouds, frequent squalls, heavy showers and thunderstorms on the sea surface. At about 10 am, the No.3 strong wind signal will replace the No.8 gale or storm signal. Looking ahead to the 25th, there will be occasional heavy showers, and the rain will gradually weaken later this week.
