The Aftermath of Typhoon Hato in Zhuhai: Near the Water in Gongbei

Though it wasn't as dramatic as the damage on the Lianhua Road Pedestrian Street, just hours after Typhoon Hato hit Zhuhai there were downed and damaged trees on Yuehai East Road as well.

There were also a number of downed road signs not far from the waterfront.

More worrying was one partially damaged street sign which slowly swung above people walking by, typically unaware of it.

Perhaps in part because it was difficult to go elsewhere, many people were out as usual at the coastline walking area along Qinglu South Road (Lovers' Road).

Thought it wasn't hard to spot damage there as well.

Some of railing could be found on the other side of the walkway.

Even with the debris around, one young man rolled about on his self-balancing scooter.

Off of Qinglu South Road, Lian'an Road was easy to miss. It had been hidden by yet another fallen tree.

Further along Lian'an Road were more signs of the storm.

At this point, I came to a portion of Shuiwan Road which had been especially transformed by the typhoon. More to come . . .
