A powerful stream of water blew off the doors of a hotel in Hong Kong

Several days ago, Typhoon Ragasa, the most powerful tropical typhoon since the start of the year, struck Taiwan and mainland China, causing widespread destruction in some areas. Videos showed a powerful torrent of water smashing through glass doors at a hotel and restaurant in Hong Kong.

Cars were swept away, streets were flooded, and houses were destroyed. Winds reached 195 km/h (120 mph) in some places.
