台风 文森特 侵袭香港

Officials in Hong Kong say a powerful typhoon injured more than 100 people as it slammed into the territory overnight, bringing winds that uprooted trees and sent debris flying.

Typhoon Vincente had winds of up to 140 kilometers per hour before striking Hong Kong, prompting authorities to raise a typhoon warning to its highest level since 1999.

The storm affected airports and ferry travel and forced the Hong Kong stock market to open late on Tuesday.

The storm weakened slightly as it moved into China's Guangdong province.香港官员说，强烈的台风夜间侵袭香港，树木被连根拔起，瓦砾被吹落四散，风灾造成100多人受伤。

台风“文森特”在侵袭香港之前，风速达到每小时140公里，香港当局发布了自1999年以来级别最高的台风警报。

台风影响到机场和轮渡的运作，香港股票市场星期二被迫推迟开市。

台风进入中国广东省后，风力稍有减弱。
