tell

Hi,
This is about a typhoon that is coming across my country.
'I could not tell it was tracking how close to where you live.'
My American friend who knows my adress was unsure of the exact location of my place like that, so I showed her a map. Now I wonder why 'tell' was put there. Can someone please explain about it please?
Thank you.

Ah yes, that is what she said. I am sorry that I did not write her words correctly. And thank you for letting me know!
