Here on Cheung Chau, I was woken around 6, by noise of wind n rain – no glow in the sky at all, just dark and very windy.
I’ve seen some very impressive forecasts of tropical storm tracks; but here, indeed proved well wide of the mark – I’d also seen re Fengshen forecast to head up eastern Philippines, and onwards to north.
I also have an impression that successive storms can follow similar paths; will be interesting to see if happens again this time
Here’s shot from our place, around 6am

Here’s some video, showing Cheung Chau beach as Fengshen approached on 24th; then wind n rain soon after dawn on 25th, soon after the centre of the storm passed roughly over Cheung Chau, and surf in inlet along southern Cheung Chau mid-morning on 25th.
