These Videos Of Typhoon Mangkhut Are Insane
Typhoon Mangkhut is the strongest storm system so far this year and it is wreaking havoc on Southeast Asia as we speak. It hit mainland China on Sunday after leaving a trail of destruction in the Philippines and Hong Kong.
The videos emerging that show the power of the wind in Hong Kong are absolutely insane. Twitter user Jen Zhu compiled a ton of them in a thread. I’ve put some below:

An office tower in Hung Hom. As I’m posting my own building is moving. The storm is screaming outside. I’m never this terrified. Hope everyone stay safe. ?? #TyphoonManghkut #HK pic.twitter.com/fHkFpoqScD
