Tropical Cyclone Tauktae (pronounced TAU-te) made landfall in India with torrential rain, damaging winds and coastal flooding.
Tauktae s center moved ashore just before midnight local time, May 17 in western India s Gujarat state between Porbanadar and Mahuva, about 150 miles northwest of Mumbai.
According to the U.S. Joint Typhoon Warning Center, Tauktae was the equivalent of a Category 3 hurricane at landfall, with maximum sustained winds estimated at 125 mph.
This tied Tauktae with a May 1999 cyclone for the strongest cyclone by estimated wind speed to landfall in Gujarat, according to NOAA s database. A June 1998 cyclone which claimed an estimated 1,320 lives was the only other Category 3 Gujarat landfall in modern-era records dating to the 1970s.
