In HK, there is no such thing as a typhoon warning 6 or 7. It goes from 1 to 3 to 8. Learn all about it at www.weather.gov.hk

Current predictions are that, if it continues its present path, it should be a tropical depression by tomorrow evening. However, if it shifts towards the coast, it could intensify, and hit HKG head on, but this is not currently likely. I hope so, because I'm flying into HKG tomorrow evening...
