A typhoon, referred to as Typhoon Ragasa, has caused damage and loss of life in multiple locations. Social media footage shows water smashing through a hotel in Hong Kong, with guests reportedly being swept away, while at least 17 people have been killed in Taiwan. The storm has also affected the Philippines, where shipping containers were swept away and waves hit the coastline, although it is unclear if the hotel incident in Hong Kong is directly related to the same storm's impact in other areas.
