Hong Kong is now being battered by one of the worst Typhoons to have ever reached the Chinese city.
Right now, the typhoon level is expected to have reached mean speeds of more than 118kmh, and residents are filming horrifying process of the raging typhoon plundering through their streets.

Those at home aren't feeling completely safe either, as residents feel their apartment blocks swaying with the wind, or damaged by the force of the typhoon.

Buildings that are under construction are one of the most affected in the disaster:

And the cranes that are situated on or near them pose a safety hazard:

The wind's so strong it has shattered windows badly, even those that have been taped:

Flooding has become a serious issue as well:

Pedestrians who are still outside at this time find themselves at mercy of the strong winds:
