TyphoonUtor

14 AUGUST 2013 - HONG KONG: A woman under an umbrella pushes her belongings up a street in Hong Kong while rains from Severe Typhoon Utor pelt the island. The storm passed within 260 kilometers of Hong Kong before making landfall in mainland China. Severe Typhoon Utor (known in the Philippines as Typhoon Labuyo) is an active tropical cyclone located over the South China Sea. The eleventh named storm and second typhoon of the 2013 typhoon season, Utor formed from a tropical depression on August 8. The depression was upgraded to Tropical Storm Utor the following day, and to typhoon intensity just a few hours afterwards. The Philippines, which bore the brunt of the storm, reported 1 dead in a mudslide and 23 fishermen missing at sea.PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
