I'm not quite sure what you mean there. It is still on the World Meteorological Organisation's TCs map. http://severe.worldweather.wmo.int/index.html

The advisories are here.

I just read that this has caused more than 50 deaths now, in China. :(

Do typhoon names get retired too? Will Prapiroon be retired?

Billis should be retired even so he was only a tropical storm because of over 600 dead. If not then something is wrong! Just think if a hurricane hit the United states in killed 600...You better believe it would be retired.

The death toll is up to 77, of which 9 have been put down to a tornado which from what I've been told looked rather big when it was shown on the news. I haven't seen it however.
