Fingers Crossed
Last 12 hours many places around Mumbai got over 100mm rains. Mumbai very unlucky to miss out. Now that Vortex has formed, next 48 hours Mumbai likely to get over 200mm rains. Waterlogging likely in usual low lying areas. Very heavy rains all of Maharashtra coast. #MumbaiRains pic.twitter.com/atFllHeeYU
