Today I was educated on Hong Kong's typhoon alert number system.
"So it's typhoon 1 alert now?"
"Yes, looks like it may be alert 3 soon. If it hits 8, we won't have to come into work."
"That's still quite far off right?"
Pause.
"You do know there is no alert number between 3 and 8 right?"
There isn't?!
