Surviving Super Typhoon Ragasa: High-Rise Experience in Hong Kong

In this video, we share our first-hand account of preparing for and living through SUPER TYPHOON RAGASA, one of the strongest storms to ever hit Hong Kong. From our apartment on the 37th floor of a HIGH-RISE in WAN CHAI, we witnessed the raw intensity of nature — hurricane-force winds rattling windows, sheets of rain slamming against the glass, and the eerie howl of the storm high above the city streets.

Location: Wan Chai, Hong Kong Island
