Even now, over a week and half after Typhoon Hato hit Zhuhai, fallen trees and other signs of the destruction left by the storm aren't hard to spot. Previous posts of scenes from the Lianhua Road Pedestrian Street, near the waterfront, the Bay Bar Street, Baishi Road, the Midtown complex, and elsewhere in the Gongbei subdistrict covered the day of the storm and the next day as well. To conclude this series of posts about some of the storm's impact, below are just a few scenes of the later cleanup, repair, and return to everyday life in Gongbei, mostly focused on places featured in the previous posts.
Two days after the storm, much debris remained on the Lianhua Road Pedestrian Street.
Crews were using heavy machinery.
Sometimes, construction equipment was repurposed to suit the task at hand.
Some of the large pieces of wood raised a question. What would be done with it all?
The night life at the Bay Bar Street, which had been severely affected, was returning at some places.
Also that night, on the non-pedestrian portion of Lianhua Road night street food vendors were back in action.
Six days after the storm, although the Bay Bar Street had been mostly cleared of debris, the long lasting damage to the trees that had once provided a thick full covering for the street was readily apparent.
But some things still survived intact.
Also, the popular walkway along Qinglu Road was clear, but damage remained.
Eight days after the storm Baishi Road no longer had a large fallen tree creating a tunnel over it, but there was still work to be done.
At the Midtown shopping complex, a smaller tree was now in its more usual orientation.
Throughout the city, piles of debris from trees still covered bikes lanes or sidewalks. Also visible were the many shiny and apparently new chainsaws in use.
Sometimes the debris included unusual objets, including an astronaut I may have seen before.
Finally, many storefront signs had been destroyed by the storm. Some were under repair as Zhuhai moved on.
