Concurrently, at the Macau Karting Circuit in Coloane, the fifth-round contestants of Macau’s Karting and Motorcycle Championships saw box-tents fly away and pile up in a corner of the venue. A few motorcycles and karts were tossed around by the strong rain and winds in the early hours of yesterday morning. Despite minor damage to the tents and promotional material, no injuries were reported.
According to the Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau (SMG), total precipitation in the Macau peninsula last night – estimated to have been between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. – was 79 mm, with 70 mm in Taipa and 65 mm in Coloane.
