Two dead after Hong Kong’s heaviest rain in at least 140 years

More than 200mm of rain recorded on Hong Kong's main island and there is also disruption in Shenzhen

Hong Kong's heaviest rain since records began 140 years ago has left two people dead and more than 100 injured, as unusually wet weather caused by typhoons brought more disruption to southern China.

Videos showed water cascading down steep hillsides in the former British colony, causing waist-deep flooding in narrow streets and inundating malls, railway stations and tunnels.
