With Cyclone Tauktae intensifying into a cyclonic storm today, severe floods have been predicted for the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Water levels are likely to reach 'danger' and highest flood levels, the Central Water Commission (CWC) said on Saturday.
This is the first cyclonic storm this year. Over the next 12 hours, Cyclone Tauktae is likely to intensify further into a 'very severe cyclonic storm' and is expected to cross the Gujarat coast between Porbandar and Naliya in a couple of days.
