the rain is back

After a absolutely beautiful weekend with blue sky and doing nothing but lying by the pool enhancing my lovely golden tan, the rain is back.
And it's back with force.

At 8 a.m. Severe Tropical Storm Kammuri was centred about 150 kilometres south of Hong Kong and winds continued to strengthen over the past few hours.
The highest storm signal warning has been issued by the government together with a Precaution Announcement list:

1. Complete all precautions in your home. Lock all windows
and doors, fit bars into position and insert reinforced
shutters and gates if they are available. Adhesive tape
fixed to large window-panes in exposed positions will
reduce damage by broken glass. Storm water drains should be
cleared of leaves and rubbish.

2. Park your car where it is least likely to be damaged.

3. Do not stand near windows on the exposed side of your
home. Move all furniture and valuables away from these
areas. Make sure you have a safe place to shelter, should
windows be broken.

4. Since seas are rough, you are advised to stay away from
the shoreline and not to engage in water sports.

5. Owners of neon signs are reminded that they should now
arrange for the electricity supply to their signs to be cut
off.

6. Please listen to your radio or watch your TV for the
latest weather information broadcast at the 15th, 30th,
45th and 58th minute of each hour. You can also browse the
Hong Kong Observatory's web site for the information.

This means that I will stay inside for a while...
