Hong Kong received heavy rain and wind Monday as Tropical Storm Tapah also affected nearby mainland China.

China's hub of Guangdong province near Hong Kong halted some train and ferry services ahead of the storm, according to state media.

Hong Kong's observatory raised its No. 8 storm signal on Sunday night, the third-highest in the city’s weather system. It said Tapah was packing maximum sustained winds near the center of about 68 miles (110 kilometers) per hour at 9 a.m.

The financial hub saw about 100 flights canceled, with some travelers sleeping on chairs as they waited for travel information at the airport.

Two people were injured in the storm and sent to a hospital for treatment. The government received about 20 reports of toppled trees in the city, with hundreds of people seeking refuge in temporary centers. Court hearings were suspended.
