Hong Kong Lightning

China witnessed an excessive thunderstorm that caused nearly 10,000 lightning strikes on Hong Kong. The thunderstorm caused delays at Hong Kong's international airport and caused damage to a Cantonese opera theatre.

Thousands of pro-democracy protesters thronged the rain-soaked streets of Hong Kong early on Wednesday, ratcheting up pressure on the pro-Beijing government that has called the action illegal and vowed to press ahead with National Day celebrations.
