Hong Kong's First Typhoon Trading Day Tests City's Brokerages
A typhoon is brewing over Hong Kong but it's business as usual for the city's $5.4 trillion stock market. The financial hub has ended a decades-long practice of shutting its markets during severe weather, and Thursday marks the first time the stock exchange will be operating on such an occasion. Authorities issued a so-called Typhoon Signal 8, the third highest, on Wednesday as tropical storm Toraji edged closer to the Pearl River Estuary. The alert will be lowered at 10:20 a.m. local time.

Typhoon batters storm-weary Philippines and displaces thousands more people as a new storm threatens
MANILA, Philippines — Typhoon Toraji unleashed floods, knocked down trees and caused power outages in the northern Philippines before weakening into a tropical storm and blowing out to the South China Sea, officials said Tuesday as they braced for another approaching storm. The Philippines has scrambled to deal with multiple calamities wreaked by four back-to-back typhoons and storms, including Toraji, that devastated the northern region of Luzon, including vast farmlands and communities, in less than a month. A brewing storm in the Pacific may strengthen into a typhoon and hit the country on Thursday, forecasters said.
