Level T9!!! (maybe 10)

It's official, typhoon Nuri will hit Hong Kong. It is now a T9 warning, which means I don't have to go to work today!

Here is what the news has to say about the typhoon.

"Hong Kong issued its strongest storm warning in five years Friday as Typhoon Nuri brought gale-force winds and heavy rains, halting trade on the financial markets and shutting down most of the city.

The Hong Kong Observatory issued the level-nine storm signal for the first time since 2003, signifying winds would intensify, and warned people not to venture outdoors. It said it may strengthen the signal to 10 later Friday.

The level-10 signal is the observatory's highest storm warning, indicating hurricane-force winds with sustained speeds of at least 118 kilometres (73 miles) an hour, and gusts of more than 220 kilometres per hour.
The top signal has not been issued since 1999 when Typhoon York hit the city, killing three people." Source
