Devastating winds and downpours have lashed Hong Kong as Super Typhoon Ragasa carves a destructive path through southern China, leaving a trail of devastation across Taiwan where at least 14 people have died following a catastrophic lake burst.

Hong Kong was pounded on Wednesday as the monster storm unleashed, toppling trees and submerging coastal communities under dangerous floodwaters.

Towering skyscrapers shuddered violently as hurricane-force winds tore through the densely populated territory.

In Taiwan, authorities confirmed that 124 residents remain missing in Hualien County following the breach of a barrier lake that sent deadly torrents flooding through the region during the typhoon’s passage, Reuters reports.

“There will be overtopping waves over the shoreline, which will be particularly significant along the eastern and southern coasts,” the observatory said.

“Under the influence of significant storm surge, around two to three metres of rise in water level are expected over the coast of Hong Kong today.”

The super typhoon had already claimed two additional lives during its sweep through the northern Philippines.
