Typhoon Mangkhut: The whole picture

[@IsaacSeng]

Just wondering where were the homeless people at this time as Hong Kong has a lot of homeless people.

stay at those Temporary Shelter Center

I was there during the typhoon, we were supposed to leave that day but our flight got suspended as a result. This was horrifying for me while I saw a lady in an umbrella struggling herself to go move under the intense wind pressures.

[@gustlightfall]

The landfall it made in the Philippines made it weaker, but it still damn powerful, specially for someone who hasn't experienced a lot of super typhoons.

[@Fluster]

Very well made video about the typhoon, should have more views!

[@Adam-tj6is]

I feel so bad for the city as it lost plenty of history, like the stone steps and the century-old trees. It really hurts to see this happen.

[@wannabigwin5]

Thank you for sharing this.

[@TheBruthaDave]

Excellent coverage. Thank you

[@sureshc775]

I survived this typhoon... Hong Kong is a great city. Built to withstand more severe typhoons. 💪

this news is one month late

[@valint3343]

I think this is more of a re-cap, coz SCMP did a vid on Mangkhut before

[@bombthebird]

typhoon saola more worse than that

[@dandared6395]

i was there ! it was amazing and scary at times for sure,

[@vincentlau3866]

Mangkhut is definitely NOT the most intense typhoon to hit Hong Kong since records began. In terms of overall winds experienced in Hong Kong, it can't even match Typhoon Ellen (1983), not to mention Typhoons Wanda and Ruby in the 1960s. Please do more research (or ask the HK Observatory) for the relevant scientific information before making such unwarranted and inaccurate claims. Indeed, Mangkhut had substantially weakened after crossing Luzon, and by the time it was closest to Hong Kong, its intensity was exceeded by quite a few other typhoons which had caused the issuance of the No.10 Signal since WWII.

[@csyac10495]

Mangkhut may not the most intense typhoon that came near Hong Kong, but its highest wind and lowest pressure still beat Typhoon Ellen, Wanda and Ruby. Mangkhut is a category 5 typhoon, none of them are category 5. Infrastructure is much better than 1960s, that's why Mangkhut caused no fatality in HK.

Glad I wasn't there for that storm.

[@RayMak]

This is really bad

[@keepbarking6943]

Yeah poor them😢

[@hyrenaj2888]

Does the majority of the staff at SCMP speak English? There's was only one guy each who spoke Cantonese and Mandarin.

[@fredrickdavis1302]

c-130 to guam . wow

[@cb2000a]

It was the worst of 2018...until Michael.

[@aron1332]

No, this was still worse than Michael.

[@jaidenbishop868]

@@aron1332 it caused more damage then Mangkut but that’s because the area it hit had a higher population then Mangkut, (The Luzon landfall).

[@aron1332]

@@jaidenbishop868 Mangkhut was worse. Mangkhut killed more people even if the population density on the landfall area was low (Luzon landfall)

[@jaidenbishop868]

@@aron1332 yeah but Micheal was only slightly weaker but not by much at landfall. It was only a slight difference of 5-15mph.

[@akio-n5o]

@@jaidenbishop868 mangkhut is bigger, stronger and more intense than michael. Michael hit the populated areas
