The post, shared during the reporting window, described the event as a "huge wave of storm surge" hitting the hotel and characterized Typhoon Ragasa as a "very serious storm with very serious impacts." The update from @VortixWx at 4:06 AM UTC highlights the ongoing and severe consequences of the typhoon. This incident in Hong Kong follows previous reports of Typhoon Ragasa nearing Hailing Island, China, leading to a lockdown of the area. The storm had previously impacted Hong Kong and southern China with intense rain and destructive winds, prompting the Hong Kong Observatory to issue its highest level Hurricane Signal, No. 10. Separately, Tropical Storm Opong has intensified over the Philippine Sea, moving westward southwestward, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
