HONG KONG: Hong Kong began a massive clean-up Monday after Typhoon Mangkhut raked the city, shredding trees and bringing damaging floods, in a trail of destruction that left dozens dead in the Philippines and millions evacuated in southern China. Landslides and severe flooding affected some areas, with over 1,500 residents seeking refuge in temporary shelters overnight. Streets in the seaside village of Lei Yue Mun were covered in debris and glass as residents picked their way through. Emergency teams were sawing apart some of the biggest trees blocking roads and pathways across the city in a clean-up operation that is likely to take days. Residents in Yashao village moved debris and branches off the roads for collection by a garbage truck.
