Super Typhoon Sula swept in, and the Hong Kong Observatory issued a rare Hurricane Warning No. 10. Normally, Hurricane Warning No. 8 is enough to cause work and school suspensions, but this move to No. 10 makes the situation clearly worse. Under Hurricane Warning No. 10, all activities were halted, public transportation was paralyzed, and citizens rushed to stay at home. Even if you hide at home, you can't escape the "disaster".
Due to the typhoon's strong winds and abundant rainfall, not only many ordinary citizens were affected, but also the homes of many celebrities and artists became disaster areas. When these artists were fighting the disaster at home, they also posted the "disaster situation" one after another. Strong winds can cause window panes to shatter and rainwater to pour in. Even if the window panes are not broken, the rainwater will seep through the gaps, which becomes a headache for them.
Artist Choi Cheuk-yin stayed at home in Hong Kong to take shelter from the wind and rain, but unexpectedly there was a water leak in her home. Judging by the photos she has made public, the rain slides down the walls and trickles down to the ground. Near the window, the rain poured in, and although she had used various rags to pad the seepage, it seemed to have little effect, and she could only pray for the floor to be okay all night. Similar to Choi Cheuk-yan's situation is Emperor artist Chan Ka-lok. Chan Ka Lok has just gotten married, and he lives in the newly moved wedding house with his wife Lian Shiya. However, the leaking video he uploaded showed water constantly bubbling from inside his home, describing it as an "indoor fountain".
Chan's condition is more serious than Choi's home, as can be seen in his video, where water is constantly gushing into an indoor fountain. The water seepage was so fast that he barely had time to deal with it, and he battled with nature all night long, basically not sleeping.
However, the problems in the home of the entertainer Carrie Fu are even more prominent, and she describes her home as a "house of dancing water", that is, a leaky ceiling. As can be seen from the video, water droplets have formed inside her house, filling the house with water curtains. Carrie may have lived in a detached house, and the leakage of the ceiling was largely related to the lack of waterproofing of the roof or its long-term disrepair.
Most celebrities and entertainers live in luxury homes in Hong Kong, which does not mean that the houses are necessarily luxurious, but that the housing prices are high. However, many residential buildings in Hong Kong are older, and the problem has become apparent over time. In the face of natural disasters, especially typhoons like Sula, the problem has clearly become intractable. However, for most citizens or entertainers, water leakage in the house is not a big problem, and it may not be the first time they have encountered this situation, and it is common for them to stay at home and watch when a typhoon or heavy rain comes.
The attitudes of Choi and Fu show that they are more interested in entertainment than worrying. If the disaster is severe, why are they still in the mood to film, share and ridicule? Maybe there is really no need to worry too much.
