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 might bring some good rain to us in Chennai. Spread the word.

Vardah might land near Chennai... though it might weaken further. The IMD Radar are reflecting the same now. Also, the region it might cover is from Chennai and beyond Nellore. North Coast of Tamil Nadu and Southern Coast region of Andhra Pradesh will experience heavy rains in the next few days even starting today 11 Dec. The good news is, in Chennai we will have rain and during the landfall of the system it might be weak. Its good to be prepared. Hope the bureaucrats are aware and ready to act.

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 ...
