Hence if you check the arrivals board, you'll see all the afternoon/evening flights departed but the return sector was cancelled. CX will have around 25 aircraft, KA less than 10 in HK to ride out the storm.
If that's the case kudo to CX for managing this so well, regardless of how bad the typhoon will be.
