We have seriously had months of no rain. I don't even know how the plants stay alive, but they do. This past week, however, was almost straight rain and crazy thunderstorms. I guess it's officially rainy season now. It was so heavy that we had landslips and flooding, despite HK's great drainage system and concrete-reinforced mountainsides.
This is the beach in front of our apartment on Monday morning after tons of rain Sunday night. There were 3-ft deep ditches from the rain, all up and down the beach.
Lots of clean up crews have been out this week, fixing beaches, cleaning up dirt and debris, and clearing the roads.
