Typhoon Nuri

Here is the storm track of Typhoon Nuri. The asterisk is Hong Kong. What this mostly means is that the city is shut down and people are staying at home. In Baton Rouge we would be sweltering in the dark by now, but here the utilities are underground. The storm was upgraded from a signal 8 to a signal 9 a few hours ago. The Hong Kong observatory says that the center will be passing over Hong Kong in the next few hours.
