The typhoon which struck Hongkong on Friday took four lives, but the damage done was negligible compared to the havoc wrought by the severe storm which pounded the Colony in June last year.
The number of people injured during Typhoon Alice was around 20, but the majority of them were not seriously hurt.
The four persons who were killed were two women and two children.
This is how they died: A boy was swept into the sea by waves and drowned. His body was found on the seashore off Hoi Tan Street, Shamshuipo.
