Hongkonger moment

I'm seeing so many posts about the hurricane meanwhile we get hit by multiple typhoons every year.

For our tropical cyclone hazard system, most people don't have to work under typhoon warning signal no. 8, but only if it happens before you get to work.

There used to be a joke about "Lee's Forcefield", where the observatory would often NOT put up no. 8 until after the stock market starts for the day, meaning most people have to work.

Therefore yes, you're going to work.

Yeah but hong Kong isn't built on sand out of matchsticks and painted cardboard

They probably also have a higher standard for building codes and enforcement than florida does.
