  3. Thanks Pradeep for alert - picture looks like a scan image of a baby!!! Let us await birth with joyous rain for TN/AP.

    For all readers
    Name "Thane" is synonymous with Mumbai - Navi Mumbai.

    Thane is a beautiful vast area nestled among western ghats, dense canopy of forests, torrential rains from june to october - Entire area stretches from east to west.

    Prominent places like Vagreshwari[hot springs], beautiful Tansa, Modak, vaitrana lakes, plenty of hill stations. In fact entire land is breathtaking with dense green mountains, creeks, sea. Natures delight

  8. Category 2 is not possible. It will strengthen as Category 1 and before landfall. It will be near Category 1 storm.
