About 19th September I looked at this disturbance and, while it was being forecast to
hit Taiwan, I felt it had a good chance of approaching Hong Kong. By 20th, some of
the agencies started to move the projected path equatorward, so I added the detailed links
for the storm to my Current Cyclones page.
Later on 20th JTWC were forecasting a direct hit on Hong Kong for 24th.
during the intervening days we saw the storm speed up in its forward motion and its course
continued to be adjusted equatorward.
It was fortunate that the storm swerved Northwards around the North of Luzon thus sparing
the worst effects from the Northern Philippines.
As it progressed across the South China Sea, it became clear that the storm would pass
about 180-200 km South of Hong Kong and still be at Typhoon strength as it passed.
