Zhuhai - Severe Storm

Severe Tropical Storm "Kammuri" was standing some 60 nautical miles south of Zhuhai. The strong ocean swell caused huge waves to crash against the seawall of the promenade on Lovers Avenue (情侣路).

 

What's usually a crowded place with couples strolling in the warm evening breeze was now nearly deserted. Just a few daring people were out and got wet.

 

And this is only a tropical storm - rest assured: when we had a genuine Typhoon it looked different and nobody would be here at all.

 

Another "reactivated" archive shot.

 

And no, the photo is not taken in Macau, though the buildings in the background are already in Macau.
