## Caption

When Typhoon Molave hit Hong Kong in July 2009, TVB Jade reporter Poon Wai Lam became a viral sensation for braving the intense winds in Tsim Sha Tsui to deliver a live weather update.⁠
⁠
As the typhoon lashed the city, Hongkongers carried on with their day, unfazed. The now-iconic footage shows Poon leaning into the wind while an expat casually strolls by with a beer in hand, giving him a thumbs-up.⁠
⁠
The video has since sparked countless memes, including comparisons to Michael Jackson’s dance moves. It’s a reminder of Hong Kong’s unique resilience—rain, shine, or typhoon.⁠
