Heavy rain and winds lashed Hong Kong on Sunday, September 16, as Typhoon Mangkhut continued on its trajectory through Asia.

Mangkhut, reported to be the biggest storm in the world so far in 2018, was forecast to hit Hong Kong and southern China on Sunday afternoon, after wreaking havoc in the Philippines.

The Hong Kong Observatory issued a number 10 tropical storm warning on Sunday morning.

In the Philippines, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said an estimated 5.2 million people were within 77 miles of the projected path of Mangkhut. Credit: Jimmy Lam via Storyful
