The rain has stopped now, and today has been sunny and beautiful.
However, many in Hong Kong weren't able to enjoy today as much as the rain brought much damage.
Some links for those who are interested.

At one point, 5.7 inches fell in one hour. Just for comparison, one inch of rain is equivalent to about 12 inches of snow in terms of the moisture content.
Crazy.

That's a reality check all right. 12" in just a few hours among all those hills...and I imagine most homes throughout Kowloon and the New Territories are not protected the way so many are in Hong Kong. I'm thinking of the concrete hillside outside of Joy's kitchen and wondering how they fared with the all that water coming down the mountain... Thanks for that, John. More global education for us. Hope your mountain stays firm! Love you.
and to think that it isn't even the rainy season.
thanks for the news reports. Weather used to be a back page item. It is now making head lines all over the world.
