Ventured out to see the – mostly minor – damage #SAOLA left in its wake here in Mongkok #HongKong. Our building was without water all morning and is still without any functioning lifts: quite a challenge given we’re on the 18th floor!
@chailey what’s that last pic? Was it an advertising hoarding that colllapsed? Glad the damage was light.
@Notactuallyaherring @chailey no, a pile of bamboo scaffolding – commonly used when constructing or renovating buildings in HK. We saw pics on the news the night before: it was strewn across the street then, this is it somewhat tidied up.
