As the super typhoon "Huajiasha" gradually moves away, the Hong Kong Observatory issued the Strong Wind Signal No. 3 (commonly known as the "Signal No. 3") at 20:20 on the 24th, which will be maintained until at least 7:00 on the 25th. Typhoon Signal No. 3 "means that the average wind speed in Hong Kong is expected to be 41 to 62 kilometers per hour. Although the local wind force is gradually weakening, strong winds are still blowing in many places, with moderate strong winds between offshore and highland areas. During the "Hua Gaza Strip" attack on Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Observatory issued the "Typhoon Signal No. 10" at 2:40 am on the 24th, and changed to the "Typhoon Signal No. 8" at 13:20. The "Typhoon Signal No. 10" lasted for 10 hours and 40 minutes, becoming the second longest "Typhoon Signal No. 10" in Hong Kong's recorded history. This also became the second time after 1964 that Hong Kong issued the "Typhoon Signal No. 10" twice a year. On the 24th, the Hong Kong Observatory pointed out that during the period of "Hua Gaza Strip", many places in Hong Kong experienced wind speeds ranging from storm to hurricane. The overall wind speed was similar to that of "Sky Dove" in 2017, "Sula" in 2023, and "Wipha" this year, but weaker than that of "Mangkhut" in 2018. Affected by the rain belt, Hong Kong experienced frequent strong winds and heavy rain on the 24th, with over 100 millimeters of rainfall recorded from midnight to 13:00, and some areas exceeding 200 millimeters. The Hong Kong Observatory stated that "Huajiasha" brought significant storm surges, coupled with the influence of rising tides, and the water levels in many areas were significantly higher than normal tide levels. The water level in Victoria Harbour rose to about 3.4 meters above the chart datum, close to the level during the "Dove" period in 2017. The typhoon also caused overtopping waves, resulting in flooding in multiple areas along the coast. Fortunately, the path of "Huajiasha" is slightly westward, and the strongest wind did not directly impact Hong Kong, causing no more serious damage. The "Extreme Weather Response Steering Committee" led by the Chief Secretary for Administration of the Special Administrative Region, Chen Guoji, coordinates various government departments to make every effort to prevent and reduce disasters, and quickly carries out follow-up work after the typhoon is far away, striving to restore normal market conditions as soon as possible. As of 20:00 on the 24th, about 100 citizens were injured during the storm and received treatment in public hospitals. As of 17:00 on the 24th, the Drainage Services Department of the Special Administrative Region Government has received a total of 19 reports of flooding, of which 14 have been processed; The Geotechnical Engineering Department received 4 reports of landslides; The Highways Department has received approximately 1620 reports of road accidents, including around 1050 cases of tree collapse; The Fire Services Department handled a total of 143 trapped elevator accidents, 454 automatic fire reports, 393 tree collapse reports, 1 landslide, and 9 flooding incidents, and assisted 61 citizens in transferring to safe locations during flooding. The Home Affairs Department of the Special Administrative Region Government opened temporary shelters early at 8:00 am on the 23rd. During the storm, a total of 50 temporary shelters were opened in various districts, accommodating about 900 people. As the wind weakens, public transportation in Hong Kong is gradually recovering. Starting from 21:20 on the 24th, some daytime routes and airport express lines of Citybus Hong Kong will gradually resume, and some routes will need to be diverted. Over 80 routes of Kowloon Motor Bus Company and Long Win Bus Company in Hong Kong resumed operation simultaneously, and the "Emperor Bus" shuttle between Lok Ma Chau and Huanggang Port resumed normal operation at 20:00. All railway lines of MTR Corporation have resumed operation, and some light rail lines are in preparation. MTR buses are still suspended from service. The schedules of the East Rail Line, Airport Express and other trains have been adjusted, and all high-speed rail Hong Kong services will be cancelled on the 24th. On the 24th, Hong Kong Chief Executive Li Jiachao stated that the super typhoon "Huajiasha" is gradually moving away from Hong Kong, but the SAR government will not relax and is working hard to coordinate various departments to fully respond to the aftermath of the typhoon, and to rush to repair the affected roads and community facilities as soon as possible. Relevant personnel will work overnight to ensure that the market can resume normal operations before most citizens return to work on the morning of the 25th. Due to severe weather conditions that may persist for a period of time, we urge citizens to remain vigilant and not slack off. (New Society)
