The reporter visited a total of three supermarkets in Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei this afternoon. Most of the goods were in sufficient supply. However, in a supermarket on Dundas Street, the bread shelves were close to "zero" and vegetables were almost sold out.
Citizen Ms. Li said that the situation is a bit exaggerated, "It's not just a few days and nights, but it's all a day." She also pointed out that the frozen meat shops in the market were crowded last night and passed through Tsuen Wan this morning. In the Yangwu Road market, the price of vegetables is more expensive than usual. "Usually there are two packs of baby cabbage and ten mosquitoes, but now I see one pack of 14 mosquitoes, and they are all too expensive to buy."
"Citizens' reflexive panic"
She believes that the inaccuracy of the "Lion Rock" forecast has caused the public to lose their budgets and is more "exhaustive." The "compass" attacked Hong Kong, and the Observatory had already forecasted it earlier last night. As the public had already reflexive panic, there was a panic buying wave.

Another neighbourhood, Ms. Liu, also went to the supermarket to shop. She said that she had enough reserves at home and would not store food especially because of wind. "It should be a day, and the sun will fall." But she pointed out that the supermarket is obviously More people than usual.
When asked if she would be worried about repeating the mistakes of the "Lion Rock" this time, she said with a smile, "All are scheduled for a holiday on Thursday," and whether it will affect the grave-sweeping plan for the Chung Yeung Festival in the future, "normal." Even if it rains, I won’t go there.”
