Between 8 and 9am on Saturday morning Hong Kong got 145mm of rain (a record amount), the government issued a black rainstorm warning and told everyone to stay at home.
Lucky we did as this on Sunday we noticed this had happened:

Crap, that landslide just below Stubbs Road.
So you are in Beverly House, Mayfair Court or Fung Fai Court?

Yes! One of the above...are you in the valley?
I saw the fire engines on on Saturday, a couple of people were killed by another landslide at the same time.

I am still in the mid levels just below Robinson. I guess I am too used to being able to walk to the office within 10 minutes. I did look at some flats in your street a few years back  should have bought one then ~
