Typhoon Nesat Signal No. 8 IssuedHONG KONG – 29 September, 2011 – The Observatory issued the No.8 Southeast Gale or Storm Signal at 4:40 HKT as Typhoon Nesat (颱風納沙) gets closer to the territory. It means all schools and kindergartens will be closed. Train services are still running, but to a reduced timetable. All New World First ferry services have been suspended.
In the early hours of this morning the typhoon took a more northerly track and will now come closer to the Hong kong than previously forecast.Precautionary Announcements with No. 8 Signal
- Complete all precautions in your home. Lock all windows and doors, fit bars into position and insert reinforced shutters and gates if they are available. Adhesive tape fixed to large window-panes in exposed positions will reduce damage by broken glass. Storm water drains should be cleared of leaves and rubbish.
- Do not stand near windows on the exposed side of your home. Move all furniture and valuables away from these areas. Make sure you have a safe place to shelter, should windows be broken.
- Flights at Hong Kong International Airport may be affected by the weather. Please contact your airline for the latest flight information before departing for the airport.
- Owners of neon signs are reminded that the electricity supply to all neon signs should be switched off now.
- Since seas are very rough, you are advised to stay away from the shoreline and not to engage in water sports.
- Please listen to radio or watch TV for the latest weather information broadcast at the 15th, 30th, 45th and 58th minute of each hour. You can also browse the Hong Kong Observatory's web site for the information.
Typhoon Nesat (international designation: 1117, PAGASA name: Pedring, JTWC designation: 20W) was the most powerful tropical cyclone to directly impact the Philippines during the 2011 Pacific typhoon season and the only typhoon that flooded the seemingly impregnable US Embassy compound in Manila city.
