Er, that's because it was only a Tropical Storm, and there is the category Severe Tropical Storm above that before you get to real Tropical Cyclones. From what I read on the web and from what I hear from friends by email (I am on the road) this was just one of the 2 or 3 days a year that the HK population seemed to have come to expect as extra days off, even if it is just a bit windy and wet. The fact that no flight operations were significantly affected says it all.

But CX won't trouble you about it, only your conscience might (the latter sounds unlikely from the moral tone of some people who have made "me first, second and third" into a fine art).
YES YES YES

Camping out in the Cabanas is outrageously rude - if you want to sleep blow the cob webs out of your wallet and get a day room at the Regal.

Precisely. It was worse back then with the mini-fridges.
