Yes it happened in 2018 and was the worst storm in decades... It completely changed the landscape of Hong Kong, pulling out so many old trees, it just didn't look the same after that.
I had my washer and dryer out on the balcony and it blew the dryer into what used to be my neighbour's kitchen
That was honestly the scariest day of my life, because it came very close to blowing my balcony doors out, and that would have been a complete catastrophe for my entire house. Thankfully it held up.
I don't have any video of that, but here's one from my office on the other side
My balcony faces a valley, so I got a full view of what a devastating T10 storm looks like, and it doesn't show well on video, but it's really fucking scary.. It's as if the sky itself is alive and really fucking angry.
