| Podul tracking by HK Observatory |
The Hong Kong Observatory raised Signal No. 1 today as Typhoon Podul (known as Typhoon Gorio when it was in the Philippines until this morning) slammed into Southern Taiwan and is due to hit the shores of Fujian tonight.
The typhoon would have weakened considerably by noon
tomorrow, when it would be nearest to Hong Kong at less than 250 kilometers north
northeast, as it continues its northwesterly sweep through Fujian and Guangdong.
After its landfall in southern Fujian tonight, the present
forecast track sees Podul moving across Guangdong and weakening progressively.

the need to issue the Strong Wind Signal, No. 3 later tomorrow morning,” the
