Deadly Typhoon Mangkhut shakes Hong Kong buildings

Typhoon Mangkhut made landfall Sunday in mainland China, but not before deadly 100-plus mph winds blew through the Philippines and Hong Kong.

In the Philippines, the New York Times reports more than 60 were killed in landslides and flooding, while millions are affected with homes and communities destroyed. Now the storm is in China, where two were already killed in Guangdong province.

The Hong Kong Observatory showed the path of the storm and how it’s expected to weaken as it makes its way inland. Authorities there raised the storm warning signal to T10 earlier, the highest possible level.

Typhoon Mangkhut moves past Hong Kong and into China with 75 mph winds.

Videos and images coming in from Hong Kong and nearby Shenzhen, China, show how destructive the storm is. On social media posts, downed cranes, fallen trees, swaying buildings, and powerful winds were just some of the severe weather posts coming in.

The Hong Kong Free Press showed impressive video on its Facebook page of blown out windows and flooding.

Also making the rounds online are videos of scaffolding and cranes falling off buildings and spinning wildly in the wind.
