Could you help me and correct my meaning? thanks.

The NO.8 typhoon is being closed to Hong Kong around 300km.( It's the first time the typhoon was closing Hong Kong. )

The store will be closed at 11:00pm every day.
 
I think you mean something like:

Typhoon no. 8 is closing in on Hong Kong. It's about 300km away. As a result, the store will close at 11pm every day until further notice.
 
Why would the store only close at 11pm? If this is a big typhoon, why not simply close for a day or two?
 
I guess like with covid, typhoons are more dangerous if people are out late at night.
