We had tried to collect something like this a while ago through internet and
literature search, but within what we got, most representations were either
too simplified, or too technical. Interestingly most material available was
for flood forecasting and warnings, and hardly anything on other hazards,
even though the science of forecasting cyclones is no less developed.
It would be great to see the range you are getting from other places.
Right now we are keeping our eyes on the cyclone approaching our eastern
coast at this hour. It had been building up since yesterday and warning of
very severe cyclonic storm had been issued. The latest heard is that it is
showing some signs of weakening, with classification being downgraded to
severe cyclonic storm. Expected to hit land tomorrow morning. For those
interested, info and path diagram are available at

Anshu.
