Update here:
The strongest wind China got on land was 132mph (sustained I think) with higher gusts. They reported 180-something MPH winds offshore a day earlier, which is a tad stronger than the Joint Typhoon Warning center was reporting. Thankfully th estorm slightly missed Hong Kong and died down by a full category before final landfall.
There were 13 inches of rain reported in the Philippines and 24 inches of rain reported in Taiwan, with terrible flooding in both China and Taiwan.

Humanity has never learned anything from the past and it will never do it as long as they believe they can mishandle our planet. In a way, it is the Earth's way of paying back for our mistakes but alas, it is always the wrong people that have to pay for the errors and not Mr. Trump himself or any of his predecessors for putting economic priorities before the ones of nature and our planet.
And when we have destroyed our planet, the moon will be the next victim...
