2007_HIGOS

Keeping up the frantic pace of August, Higos developed east of the Northern Philippines but as a relatively short-lived but intense system in the northern part of the South China Sea. It moved dynamically northwestward and made landfall in Zhuhai, Guangdong, China. Despite its brief lifespan, its tight wind field caused notable urban chaos, flight cancellations, and localized flooding in the Macau and Hong Kong areas.
