The results of "Astronomical, Geographic and Meteorological Events of 2009" Election is announced. We thank all for your participation. The top three events are:

1. (19/7) Typhoon Molave made landfall at Longgang District of Shenzhen City, and it was only 40 kilometres from the Observatory at its closest point of approach. The Observatory issued the #9 Increasing Gale or Storm Signal for the second time in as many years. Molave is the strongest typhoon to make a "direct hit" since Typhoon Dujuan in 2003.
2. (7-8/8) Typhoon Morakot made landfall at Hualien, producing winds of force 13. Morakot weakened into a severe tropical cyclone in Taiwan, and made landfall again at Fujian on August 9. The southwesterly airstream induced by Morakot triggered the heaviest rainfall in many areas in Taiwan since 1959, with Alishan recording 2500 mm of rainfall in just three days, and the death toll exceeded 600 as a result.
3. (14/9) [Tied for second place] Typhoon Koppu passed at about 130 kilometres from the Observatory; the #8 Gale or Storm Signal was issued at 5:55 p.m. and lasted for 16 hours 20 minutes. Winds were very strong that night in the territory; coupled with high tides the next morning, low-lying areas like Tai O were flooded. Koppu made landfall at Taishan, Guangdong on September 15, creating winds of up to force 14. The storm is responsible for at least 9 deaths and 9 others went missing.
   

"2009 年天文、地理及氣象大事選舉" 結果公佈，謝謝各位的參與。首三位事件為 :

1. (19/7) 颱風莫拉菲在中國廣東省深圳市龍崗區南澳街道沿海地區登陸，其中心於香港天文台北面 40 公里掠過，天文台發出九號烈風或暴風信號，是 2008 年以來第二次。莫拉菲為自 2003 年颱風杜鵑以來正面吹襲香港的最強颱風。
2. (7-8/8) 颱風莫拉克在台灣花蓮縣登陸，登陸時颱風中心附近最大風力13級。莫拉克於台灣減弱為強烈熱帶風暴，並於 9 日再度登陸福建省霞浦縣。莫拉克引進西南氣流，台灣經歷 50 年來最嚴重的雨災，阿里山於三天內雨量超過 2500 毫米；總計造成超過 600 人死亡，是為 "八八水災"。
3. (14/9) [並列第二位] 颱風巨爵於本港 130 公里外掠過，天文台於下午 5 時 55 分發出八號烈風或暴風信號，共維持 16 小時 20 分鐘。當晚本港風勢強勁，適逢 15 日凌晨大潮，大澳等低窪地區出現水浸。巨爵於 15 日清晨在中國廣東省台山市北陡鎮沿海地區登陸，廣東省最大風速達 14 級。它造成至少 9 人死亡，9 人失蹤。
