Death toll from this storm is now up to 8 across southern india. Some rainfall totals since earlier this week have surpassed 700 resulting in significant flooding.

[RobWESTPACWX]

It is still called 93W.

No been called Nilam for a few days now. A very destructive storm in India as well. I cant change the name on here but really wish I could.

I guess the mods are too busy in Sandy discussions to bother to check this forum out. Anyways, nice analysis, though your pronunciation of the word Nilam is really bad.

[RobWESTPACWX]

Ya, your the first to point that out. I was saying Nalim half the time. It happens after all day at work and pushing the cast out at midnight. Any how will do another one later on.

Here is some footage that will be in the cast later.
