HONG KONG, Sept 1 — Hong Kong braced for the arrival of super typhoon Saola today as authorities raised the strong wind signal to No.8, bringing the city to an effective standstill with most businesses, schools and the stock exchange shut.
The observatory said it would consider the need to issue higher cyclone warning signals later in the day. Crowds jostled at fresh food markets in the city’s downtown Wan Chai district on Thursday afternoon with many vegetables already sold out. Supermarkets saw long queues with people stocking up ahead of the storm.
