Hong Kong has cranked up its storm warning system to the max as Typhoon Wipha barrels toward the city, forcing Cathay Pacific to scrap or delay flights this Sunday. The city is hunkering down for heavy winds and rain, with disruptions expected to ripple through travel and daily life.

Editor’s Note: Typhoons are no joke for Hong Kong—they can shut down businesses, flood streets, and strand travelers. With Wipha triggering the top alert, locals and visitors should brace for chaos, especially at the airport. It’s a stark reminder of how vulnerable even a major global hub can be when nature throws a tantrum.
