[HOT] Super Typhoon Hagupit (International Name Ruby)

Thu Dec 4 04:06:03 UTC 2014

Hi all:

Bing/Mapbox OSM limits seem outdated, at least for Samar island (the one
I checked). Now they cover many more areas of the island.

I modified the limits for Samar, but would be interesting to
check/modify them for other areas that could be affected.

Cheers,

Rafael.
