Hong Kong officials met the press to provide details on efforts in handling the aftermath of the city’s worst downpour in more than a century amid mounting questions over a perceived lack of preparedness. The extreme weather event, which also triggered the city’s longest- ever black rainstorm warning, turned streets into rivers, stranded drivers in vehicles, flooded malls as well as railway stations, and left more than 100 people in hospital. At least 2 people have been killed so far.
