Goni the Typhoon No.8

The name of this typhoon is Goni (天鵝)

A small little swan that is....not as strong as I expect it to be, I am guessing that I need to be at work tomorrow.

Here are the standard instructions given by Government

1. Complete all precautions in your home. Lock all windows and doors, fit bars into position and insert reinforced shutters and gates if they are available. Adhesive tape fixed to large window-panes in exposed positions will reduce damage by broken glass. Storm water drains should be cleared of leaves and rubbish.

2. Since seas are very rough and the current is strong with changing direction, you are advised to stay away from the shoreline and not to engage in water sports.

3. Owners of neon signs are reminded that they should now arrange for the electricity supply to their signs to be cut off.

4. Please listen to the radio or watch TV for the latest weather information broadcast at the 15th, 30th, 45th and 58th minute of each hour. You can also browse the Hong Kong Observatory's web site for the information.
