Tropical Storm Kompasu Slams Hikers on Hong Kong Mountain Trail
Tropical Storm Kompasu was forecast to move towards northern Vietnam on Thursday, October 14, after being downgraded from a typhoon status the day prior, Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) said.
This footage filmed by local tour guide Wild Hong Kong on Wednesday shows strong winds and rain slamming hikers on Tate’s Cairn. “Idyllic conditions on the trail today…” they wrote in a caption.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council of the Philippines reported 30 deaths and 14 people missing as of Thursday after the storm brought flooding and intense winds to the region.
