Cyclone 'Vardah' update: 'Red rose' or 'Red furry'. Nellore beware.

North Chennai and neighboring region will get some rain from 11 Dec onwards. Due to Vardah, we will get some good rains near Pulicat lake and above. Nellore will bear the brunt of this fury. AP coastal region should be on high alert. The mainland in Andhra will have some good rain next week. Hope the government and bureaucrats are prepared for this.

Cyclone Vardah has made us guess. Now, is it a disaster or much needed rain

From the beginning, Vardah has been making IMD and others guessing on its landfall and impact. It caused havoc in Andaman islands. It was suppose to move north and get into land near Nellore and above. Now, its in a trajectory impacting Chennai and neighboring districts. In 24 hours, we will be assessing its impact and damage, unless, something happens and its impact gets reduced...a weak cyclone (will it become one!). Otherwise, Chennai,  North TN Coast, and South AP will bear the brunt of wind speed of 100 kmph and high tidal waves flooding low lying areas. It can cause severe damage to Chennai city and neighboring districts.  JWTC (US Navy, Pearl Harbor) reports, " THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 75 KNOTS IS BASED ON  THE IMPROVED NATURE OF THE SYSTEM AND MULTI-AGENCY DVORAK VALUES OF  T4.0 (65 TO 80 KNOTS)." and " MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 110600Z IS 24 FEET. " Also, IMD has issued a warning of Severe impact and disaster. Below is the text from IMD report ...

Weather outlook - 30 Nov 2016

On 1st Dec, intensity of Rain activities in and around Chennai will be pretty heavy between 9am to 1pm and around 5pm to 6pm. It will be the same case in the TN coastal region. However, on 2nd Dec, rain activity should be moderate but a continuous spell in Chennai. Interior and coastal TN will be having rain activities on 2nd Dec as well. The current system looks pretty normal (a moderate one). However, another system may come up and  might land and impact Orissa and West Bengal by 9th and 10th Dec. That looks pretty disastrous one. Chennai needs this rain. Hope our bureaucrats have done their homework and catchment areas hold these waters. Else, we may have water lorries fixed with card swiping machines.
