According to CNN, the strongest storm to hit Hong Kong since the city began keeping records-Typhoon Mangkhut- has left a trail of devastation. Although there was no loss of life, the storm has caused around $1 billion in insurance claims according to some estimates. It has been reported that the city's green spaces have had the greatest damage from the storm. In particular, the city's government has estimated that 54,000 trees have fallen due to the storm.
