Koinu had weakened into a severe tropical storm but still brought gale-force winds and heavy rain.
HONG KONG: Hong Kong ordered people to stay indoors, shut schools and closed the stock exchange on Monday as the remnants of Typhoon Koinu caused floods a month after the city was paralysed by record-breaking rainfall.
The bureau also issued a landslide warning with many areas of the mountainous city at risk after unusually wet weather. The Airport Express train which connects the airport to the central business district stopped running while services at some metro stations were partially suspended. Services had since resumed at limited frequencies, operator MTR said.
