whybother Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 It looks like Southern Thailand will be hit in a few days. By then it may not have much punch, but it will still bring a bit of rain. http://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/western-pacific/2014/Typhoon-Hagupit?map=5day&MR=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
