Typhoon Usagi has affected 3.5 million people in China
颱風襲擊香港和中國南部海岸。颱風「天兔」已造成廣東省25人死亡，但香港躲過了最嚴重的暴風雨。以下是 Juliana Liu於9月23日從香港發來的報道：
The streets of Hong Kong, one of the world's most densely packed cities, are eerily quiet. Residents had been preparing for days for a super typhoon, the worst in decades.
But the storm weakened on its way to south China. Though there has been damage caused, it has been far less than originally anticipated.
About a dozen people here have sought treatment in hospital. There has been some flooding, and of course, hundreds of flights have been cancelled.
With the wind and rain abating, the city is likely to return to business as usual by mid-morning.
