Typhoon Nuri, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Karen, was the twelfth named storm and the seventh typhoon recognised by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). It was the thirteenth tropical depression, the twelfth tropical storm and the eighth typhoon of the 2008 Pacific typhoon season, as per the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). The name Karen was assigned by PAGASA to a tropical depression for the second time, the other time being in 2004 to Typhoon Rananim. Typhoon Nuri formed as a tropical depression on August 17 with the JMA then designating it as Tropical Storm Nuri the next day. It reached typhoon status later that day. Nuri then made landfall in the Philippines as a typhoon on August 20 leaving at least 10 people dead and 11 injured. Nuri then emerged into the South China Sea the next day and started moving towards Southern China. As Nuri moved closer towards Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Observatory issued its Increasing Gale or Storm Signal No. 9 for the first time since Typhoon Dujuan in 2003. It then made a direct hit on Hong Kong as a typhoon. The JMA issued its final warning on August 23 as Typhoon Nuri was moving into Southern China.
