Here's one-and-a-half minutes of the lightning storm that still continues with no letting up. It's be going on for hours. Multiple strikes per second and getting worse. Current count is nearly 20,000 strikes per hour. We're watching the buildings and sea take hit after hit with loud explosions after each strike.
Donna has tuned in Hong Kong Tower and Approach. We're listening to a Hong Kong Airlines try to shoot the 07L in hideous conditions. An Air Hong Kong has just called unable to hold altitude. All are calling low fuel. The closest airports Macau, Zhuhai, and Shenzen are too full of diverted flights to hold more as the cell hits their fields as well. Zhuhai is only taking Pan Pan. Microburst alerts for all sectors.
It's an absolute mess, but beautiful to watch.
