The typhoon came within 60km of the nearby financial centre of Hong Kong before heading westward into mainland China, where it was gradually weakening. Flooding and injuries were reported in Hong Kong, which lies across the water 64km from Macau, but there were no reports of deaths. Weather authorities in Hong Kong raised the No.10 hurricane signal, the highest level, for the first time in five years.
