Yea, it looks like it's heading directly west more or less. We'll still get rain though. This may be a good time to get some things planted. We just popped a bunch of qing jiang cai starters in the ground and they're quite happy with the rain we're getting now.

Regarding the interaction with land, I found this bit of information from the JTWC interesting:

TIME OVER LAND STILL WORKS OUT TO ROUGHLY 15 HOURS.
ACCORDING TO STATISTICAL ANALOGUES, A 15 HOUR OVER-LAND TRACK
RESULTS IN A FORTY PER CENT REDUCTION IN STORM INTENSITY, WHICH
WOULD RESULT IN TY NESAT EJECTING INTO THE SOUTH CHINA SEA (SCS) AT
80 KNOTS.
