Where is it now and whats the path looking like . Its going to weaken over the next 12 to 24 hours. Its going to pararell the coast of vietnam which could bring over two feet of rain to this vulnerable area. We have another storm waiting in the wings that is going to pass a similar track to this super typhoon. Really incredible.
