Hong Kong (AFP) - Hong Kong raised its highest storm warning Wednesday as Severe Typhoon Hato brought the city to a standstill, shutting down the stock market and forcing the cancellation of hundreds of flights as heavy rain and winds pummelled the territory.
The weather observatory raised the storm warning to the city's maximum Typhoon 10 signal -- meaning hurricane force winds are expected -- at 9:10 am (0110 GMT).
