Cathay will get you to the end of your ticket with them on the first available flight, just call them in HK or when the UK office opens. They are well rehearsed in handling typhoons.
If you have non-flexible bookings beyond that for other airlines, hotels etc. you will need to get your travel insurance involved. Unfortunately these things are common in this part of the world at this time of year.
