Tropical Storm Gaemi a Non-issue for Sakon Nakhon

Tropical Storm Gaemi has become a non issue for Sakon Nakhon, in fact it's a non issue for north eastern and central Thailand from the looks of things. Gaemi has moved even further south than I anticipated some days ago. Gaemi is expected to enter southern Vietnam later today. It is expected to dissipate within two days after making landfall. Moving at a speed of 11knots (20km),  it may dissipate before reaching Thailand. In a rush to avoid another flooding calamity, many reservoirs were drained to some degree in Thailand. The question now is did they drain reservoirs prematurely and create a possible water shortage in the future.
