• Cyclonic winds, rushing down from Alaska had nothing else to batter against, so they smacked into the water across miles of Open Ocean. The winds pushed and ground and heaved against the waves, making them bigger, more sustained and more powerful. By the time these waves reached the U.S. shoreline, they were massive, prompting the National Weather Service (NWS) to issue high-surf alerts up and down the West Coast beginning Sunday (Dec. 16) and in many cases remaining in effect until midday today (Dec. 18). Giant, 30- to 40-foot waves battered parts of the West Coast from Washington State south to Los Angeles, prompting warnings and even an unheard of tweet from the National Weather Service (NWS).
  • Cyclonic storm Phethai has made a landfall at Katrenikona in Andhra Pradesh’s East Godavari district. Heavy rains and winds are being experienced in many areas in the district. The entire Konaseema region is receiving heavy rainfall. The state government has alerted people to be careful. However, due to unfavourable environmental conditions, the cyclone was expected to weaken slightly before landfall and cross the coast as a cyclonic storm with a wind speed of 70-90 kmph gusting to 100 kmph.
