8,888 Followers of Trekkin'

trekkintippler:
"I travel. I drink. I do stuff.
Not necessarily in that order.
Everything in moderation -
philosophy in a wee dram. All
photos & most bottles my own.
Every so often you hit a number
that just resonates. For this
Tippler, 8,888 followers is one
of those. And while it's true
than any number is unique ('no
two snowflakes, no two DNA
helixes', after all) in Asian
cultures anyway, the number '8'
is considered to be especially
lucky and auspicious.
So cheers to all of you who have
followed me on the trek so far.
After some 1,300 drink
posts, 14 countries and
easily thousands of kilometres
trekked, it's time to raise a
glass to the great wide world
out there and to all the kindred
souls sharing an appreciation
for the finer things in life.
Sláinte!"
(Congratulations to Lammaite
Mark Malby! He's
also running my favourite drone
photo page,
Mute Planet, and we
did a joint photo exhibition
together,
In Love With Lamma."

Sunset Vibes
Sunset photo from just a
few days ago; as usual taken
from my favourite 360-degree
vantage point, our village
house's rooftop (permission to
access by our friendly 2/F
Mainland neighbours).
"Sunset worshipping" is widely
practiced here, especially as
most of North Lamma has
fantastic sunset views. Today,
there's a
sunset concert at The Waterfront,
plus the
YSW ferry pier webcam,
offering automatic sunset views

Extreme Weather Preparations
HK Electric Prepares for Severe
Adverse Weather
with Flood Drill
"With the wet and typhoon
seasons approaching, HK Electric
has conducted a power
restoration drill at Heng Fa
Chuen, in collaboration with the
Electrical and Mechanical
Services Department, to bolster
its preparedness for handling
power disruptions caused by
extreme weather conditions.
The drill simulated a black
rainstorm warning scenario with
torrential rain exceeding 70
millimetres per hour, leading to
flooding at several distribution
substations in Heng Fa Chuen
residential buildings. Rising
water levels in these
substations triggered flood
alarms, activating water pumps
to remove accumulating water.
Despite these measures, seawater
backflow made the situation
worse, resulting in a power
interruption in the coastal
residential areas...
HK Electric regularly reviews
and optimises its emergency
response plans for adverse
weather events. Whenever typhoon
signal No. 3 or above is
hoisted, operation staff
including an emergency team are
required to station at Lamma
Power Station for 2-shift
continuous operation, and
manpower will be further
increased if the typhoon is
classified as a severe or super
typhoon.
The Company will also have
support teams standby across
Hong Kong Island for emergency
maintenance when typhoon signal
No. 8 or above is hoisted,
provide updates through various
communication channels to keep
customers informed during
emergencies, and maintain close
contact with the Home Affairs
Department, District Councils,
and Care Teams on Hong Kong
Island and Lamma Island to
provide immediate assistance
whenever possible...
