As the typhoon approached the Chinese coast, two men became stranded on a cliff in Sok Kwu Wan as a result of the storm. Though they required aerial rescue via helicopter, both men only sustained minor injuries. Passing south of Hong Kong throughout September 8-9, Sally remained sufficiently south of the province to not cause considerable damage. However, trees, scaffolding, and signboards were toppled by strong winds. A peak gust of 158 km/h (98 mph) was measured at a station in Tai Mo Shan. Precipitation remained light, though some localized flooding events were reported. The highest measured rainfall total in Hong Kong was 59 mm (2.32 in), though amounts greater than 60 mm (2.36 in) were estimated in some areas of the province. Two people were killed - one in Luk Chau village and another in Ma On Shan. In nearby Macau, trees were also uprooted, and low-lying areas were inundated by flooding conditions exacerbated by the high tides caused by Sally.
