After a Thunderstorm at an Ancient Gate in Ganzhou

Last year I documented the effects from a typhoon directly hitting Zhuhai and Macau. More recently, Typhoon Mangkhut has left a mark in the Philippines and in China, especially the former. Most of the reports about the China region I've seen from Western news organizations focus primarily on Hong Kong despite the center of the storm hitting a point further to the southwest in Guangdong. While not dismissing the newsworthiness of some of what was reported, it struck me as an example of how news from this region can sometimes have a Hong Kong bias similar to the Beijing bias for China as a whole.

Anyway, late this afternoon in Ganzhou, far enough from the sea and the storm, there was a brief strong thunderstorm. The effects I saw were relatively insignificant though.

That's all.
