After drenching Luzon island in the Philippines for days and causing floods in Metro Manila, tropical storm Isang (typhoon Hato) battered Hong Kong Wednesday, closing schools and offices and canceling hundreds of international flights.

Typhoon Hato was given the highest storm category signal of 10, the first in five years, with winds of up to 155kph and heavy rainfall exceeding 30mm.

The typhoon virtually shut down one of Asia's biggest financial centers with the stock exchange suspended and most businesses closed.
