The Hong Kong Observatory upgraded the alert at 2.40 a.m. Storm warning level 9 came into force one just an hour earlier.
Super Typhoon Ragasa is southeast of Hong Kong. It is moving toward the city at about 22 kilometres per hour.

Travellers were gathered in front of flight schedule boards throughout Tuesday to check if their journeys were disrupted by adverse weather.
The airport's departure hall has been busy with many travellers opting to stay there and wait for the storm to pass.
