Stormy Disruptions: A Double Edged Umbrella The recent cancellation of the amber rainstorm warning in Hong Kong has left residents questioning the city's preparedness for extreme weather events.
The storm, triggered by Typhoon Noul, prompted the Education Bureau to suspend morning and full day schools, but the decision to do so came after the warning had already been downgraded from red.
The timing of the Education Bureau's action is unclear, given that the Hong Kong Observatory had issued warnings of heavy showers and squally thunderstorms in the Pearl River Delta earlier.
