&nbsp;Cyclone Tauktae hit Mumbai with full fury bringing heavy rains
Strong gales of over 60-75 km/hr led to uprooting of trees, damaged some homes, and disrupted road traffic, though there are no human casualties, officials said.
The cyclone was hovering around 160 kms away from the Mumbai coast and is likely to reach Gujarat by midnight tonight, said the IMD`s latest warning bulletin.
It is accompanied by strong winds of 180-190 kmph, gusting to 210 kmph, which is expected to drop gradually over the next 48 hours into a depression with 40-60 kmph windspeeds by Wednesday morning.
