Hong Kong comes together for massive cleanup after Typhoon Mangkhut

HONG KONG - Teachers, refugees, children and office workers mobilised in Hong Kong on Tuesday (Sept 18) for a massive cleanup after Typhoon Mangkhut.

In a city with a reputation for cut-throat competitive focus, residents said the storm had provided a rare opportunity for solidarity.

Hong Kong escaped without any fatalities when the storm hit on Sunday. But more than 300 were injured as buildings were rocked, windows smashed, coastal areas pounded by towering waves and more than 1,000 trees were felled.
