Influenced by the residual low pressure trough of typhoon "Hai Kui", Hong Kong suffered the heavy rainstorm once in a century. Since the evening of the 7th, rainstorm has been falling in all regions of Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Observatory issued a black rainstorm warning signal late in the night of the 7th, and water accumulated in many regions of Hong Kong.
Taiwan reporter Ma Yuan: From last night to this morning, Hong Kong is experiencing the strongest rainstorm since 1884. The government has issued a black rainstorm warning, which is also the highest level rainstorm warning. According to our observation, many sections of the road were severely flooded this morning, and the water depth could even cover the wheels of cars. It can be imagined that Hong Kong will face unprecedented traffic pressure today.
So far, the black rainstorm warning signal is still in effect, which is also the longest black rainstorm warning signal ever recorded in Hong Kong. The rainstorm warning signal is black, which means that rainstorm with an hourly rainfall of more than 70mm has been recorded or expected in most parts of Hong Kong, and the rain may continue.
