Typhoon Podul, the 11th storm of the season, swept through the Taiwan region on Wednesday before brushing past Hong Kong, leaving a dramatic skyline view in its wake. 🌪️ The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region downgraded its black rainstorm warning to red, offering residents a glimpse of the city’s iconic towers emerging from the storm’s shadow.
📸 Social media lit up with snaps of Victoria Harbour’s shimmering reflections and neon-lit skyscrapers piercing through lingering clouds. While the typhoon brought heavy rains to Taiwan, Hong Kong avoided major damage, with locals praising the city’s preparedness. 🏙️💪
Meteorologists noted Podul’s rapid northeastward shift spared the region from its full force. Travelers planning trips to East Asia are advised to monitor weather updates, as typhoon season remains active until November. 🌐✈️
