The warning was mainly for Sunday but we are on high alert since Saturday morning, said Mr. Natarajan, who inspected coastal areas in Kalimangundu and Agnitheertham. On Saturday morning, the sea was seen calm in Dhanushkodi, Arichamunai, Muhuntharayar Chathiram, Mandapam, Pamban, Ariyaman, Devipattinam, Kilakarai and Thondi areas. Water entered a large stretch of land, adjacent to the Dhanushkodi road, apparently after fierce waves hit the shore at the early hours. In the evening, the sea turned slightly rough in Dhanushkodi and Arichamunai but no untoward incident was reported. The INCOIS predicted that the sea would be rough near and low-lying areas in Kanniyakumari and Ramanathapuram districts and would experience surges intermittently from Saturday morning to Sunday night.
