As of 7:00 PM DECEMBER 3, 2014 CSHT Excerpt of Update from the United States National Weather Service covering GUAM USA area: (Source: prh.noaa.gov/guam/cyclone.php) AT 700 PM CHST...0900 UTC...THE CENTER OF MAJOR TYPHOON HAGUPIT WAS LOCATED BY SATELLITE NEAR LATITUDE 8.6 DEGREES NORTH AND LONGITUDE 137.8 DEGREES EAST. TYPHOON HAGUPIT IS MOVING TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST AT 23 MPH. HAGUPIT IS EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN THIS GENERAL COURSE WITH A GRADUAL DECREASE IN FORWARD SPEED THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO 115 MPH. TYPHOON HAGUPIT IS STILL EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTENSIFYING OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. TYPHOON FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 35 MILES FROM THE CENTER. TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 140 MILES FROM THE CENTER. Note: From end to end, this indicates size (lengthwise) of the storm to be 280 MILES. If this calculation is correct, and if Hagupit will hit vulnerable areas facing Pacific Ocean, it is possible that strong storm surges will occur in those areas. Therefore as advised in the December 3 (AM) report by foreign media, seagoing vessels should already be prevented from leaving port. Note: Comparative Data from Haiyan state that the diameter of the November 2013 Super Typhoon Haiyan eye of the storm was 8 miles. However this is not the exact size of the storm.
