T8

Typhoon signal number 8 is the highest possible typhoon warning that can be hoisted in Hong Kong. T8 typhoons carry winds that travel 63 kilometers an hour or more.

Yawn.

Yawn, this time with arms extending over my head.

Yawn, this time with me looking really bored.

63km/hour?

Are they kidding? I run faster than that.

(Insert bored look here)

In the Philippines, where we have "proper" typhoons, the highest storm warning is 3 (no need to reach such high numbers) and to get that honor, you need winds upwards of 100km/hour.

100km/hour.

Now that's a typhoon.
