"HONG KONG - A severe tropical storm lashed Hong Kong with rains and high
winds Wednesday, churning toward mainland China and prompting authorities
here to shut businesses and cancel a Sept. 11 memorial gathering.

At least 32 people were hurt, including two women and a man struck by
broken window glass as they rode a tram, authorities said. Five people were
admitted to hospitals, with two in serious condition, a government
spokesman said.

Tropical storm Hagupit — a Filipino word for a whipping or flogging —
packed winds of up to 62 mph as it moved toward the western part of China's
Guangdong province. By late Wednesday, it was about 105 miles southwest of
Hong Kong, meteorologists said."
