Passage of Ragasa will be the latest in a line of superstorms that have struck the city over the decades
Hong Kong is bracing for the approach of Super Typhoon Ragasa, which falls into the category of storms with maximum sustained wind speeds of 185km/h (115mph) or above near their centres.
The passage of Ragasa, a Filipino word meaning rapid or fast motion, will be the latest in a line of superstorms that have struck the city over the decades.
The Post looks back at the past seven super typhoons that have triggered a No 10 signal, the city’s highest storm warning, since records began in 1946.
Saola’s maximum sustained wind speed near its centre reached 210km/h by the time a No 8 warning was issued.
