mui wo typhoon hope 1979 0001

Top photo taken from Mui Wo Police Station shows Silvermine Bay flooded after Typhoon Hope in 1979. Mui Wo Police Station had, as did all the Islands Divisional stations, a typhoon signal mast. The lower  picture shows the No. 10 signal being hoisted by police. The signal was very heavy and it took a big effort and plenty of men to joist it in what were pretty adverse weather conditions.
