Although not as severe as some previous storms, Super Typhoon Ragasa left a trail of destruction as it skirted Hong Kong on September 24, 2025. One of the worst-hit areas was Tseung Kwan O in the New Territories, where flood barriers in front of three restaurants at a shopping centre were washed into a mountain of debris.
