Using high resolution $(0.005cm-1)$ Fourier transform spectra, it has been possible to perform an extended analysis of the hybrid $\nu 2$ band of HDO. Besides, more than 350 intensities of lines belonging to the A-type and B-type components have been measured. These intensities were very satistfactorily reproduced using an appropriate expansion of the transformed transition moment operator of the $v2$ band. Finally a complete list of line positions and intensities has been computed and should be useful for atmospheric applications.
