Wipha brought Hong Kong its first No. 10 Typhoon signal in two years, but the city is determined to clean up as quickly as possible.
There were more than 700 toppled trees. At Stubbs Road, part of a tree fell from the retaining wall. The cleaning crew had to cut it in half to remove it from the blocked road.
At Jardine's Lookout's Cooper Road, a gate was destroyed by a broken tree, blocking the road partially.
Across the harbour at Hammer Hill Road, a toppled tree crushed a bus shelter.
And a minibus caretaker's hut was also blown over in Ngau Chi Wan, which needed a crane to help rescue.
The Hong Kong Observatory's senior scientific officer Lee Shuk Ming says while Whipa was a smaller storm when compared to Typhoon Saola back in 2023, it still packed a punch when it swept past Hong Kong.
The city's weather will only improve towards the end of the week.
