Tropical Storm Hagupit has re-intensified this morning as it moves into slightly favorable environment over the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea). Thankfully, the system is now moving away from the Philippines. Hagupit left more than a dozen people dead (official death toll is still climbing) and nearly P2 billion ($45 million) in damages to properties and agriculture. While life is returning to normal, thousands of people are still reeling from the effects of the once Super Typhoon, especially in Eastern Samar.
Tropical Storm Hagupit will continue moving westward and should exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility later this afternoon. It will likely maintain its Tropical Storm-strength as it moves into Vietnam by Thursday afternoon. Strong winds and heavy rains will impact the region including the city of Ho Chi Minh.
We'll have another update later tonight.
