Hong Kong Reopens After Super Typhoon Ragasa Leaves City Shaken

Hong Kong has begun reopening after being battered by Super Typhoon Ragasa, described as the most powerful cyclone to hit the region in years. Businesses, schools, and transportation networks gradually resumed operations on Tuesday as authorities cleared debris and assessed damage.

The storm, which triggered heavy flooding and strong winds, forced the city into lockdown for several days. Emergency teams worked around the clock to restore essential services, while residents returned cautiously to their routines.

Although infrastructure damage and power outages were reported in several districts, officials confirmed that major recovery efforts are underway. Weather experts said Ragasa’s intensity highlighted the increasing risks coastal cities face from severe tropical storms.

Hong Kong’s government urged the public to remain vigilant, stressing that post-storm hazards such as landslides and unstable buildings may persist in affected areas. The reopening marks an important step toward normalcy after days of disruption.
