Ji-won, we're hearing some casualties,... what's the aftermath of the storm?

That's right, Semin.
At least three people have been killed and over 80 injured in Hong Kong and Macau as Typhoon Hato made landfall and swept over the area.
A typhoon signal Number 10, the highest on Hong Kong's storm warning system, was declared early Wednesday.
It's the first time in five years that Hong Kong has issued its highest warning.
Macau had widespread power outages... and Hong Kong saw flooding and unusually high tides.
Water levels in the west fishing village of Tai O reached 3-point-7 meters,... and Lantau Island, where the Hong Kong International Airport is located, had winds with maximum gusts of almost 130 kilometers an hour.
The warning was lowered as the day passed, but most businesses had to close, including the financial hub's stock market.
Hundreds of flights were also canceled.
Hato is heading northwest, in the direction of Hanoi, but it's forecast to lose steam by early Thursday.
