Typhoon Saola Threatens Hong Kong and Taiwan

Hong Kong has raised its storm warning to the third highest level as Typhoon Saola approaches, with schools closed and flights canceled. Although Saola has weakened from super typhoon status, it remains equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane. The storm is expected to brush the city later in the day and could be the worst storm in five years. Hong Kong's flagship airline, Cathay Pacific, has halted all flights to and from Hong Kong, and the city's highest storm warning alert, signal T10, is possible depending on the typhoon's track.
