After Heavy Damage In Tamil Nadu And Andhra, Cyclone Michaung Weakens

Cyclone Michaung made landfall yesterday following heavy rain in Andhra Pradesh and flooding in Chennai. The severe cyclonic storm that originated in the Bay of Bengal weakened into a depression, the India Meteorological Department said.

Chennai came to a standstill following heavy rain and flooding. Seventeen people died in the city due to rain-related incidents, making it one of the worst affected places due to the cyclone.

As many as ten incidents of drowning and electrocution have been reported and medical assistance has been provided, Greater Chennai Police said.

DMK MP Kanimozhi said the Tamil Nadu government is prepared to deal with the situation in a better manner than in 2015 when incessant rains caused flooding in Chennai.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin said that the ₹ 4,000 crore investment in stormwater drains played a crucial role in minimizing the impact of what he called the “47-year high rainfall”.

Food and other relief materials are being airdropped in Chennai and water is being pumped out from several low-lying areas that are flooded, DR J Radhakrishnan, Commissioner of Greater Chennai Corporation said.

Additional teams of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have been called in and 300 boats have been deployed in low-lying areas. Around 5,000 government workers from other districts will join the relief efforts, Dr J Radhakrishnan said.

The cyclone weakened into a depression and is moving northwards in Andhra Pradesh, the India Meteorological Department said.

It is expected to move northwards in Andhra Pradesh and further weaken into a well-marked low-pressure area in the next six hours.

Schools and colleges were ordered to remain shut today in Chennai and an 80 per cent power supply has been restored in the city. Many residents in the city grappled with power cuts and no mobile connectivity.

Traffic has been restored on several key roads including; Kamarajal Sarai, Cathedral, Pondy Bazaar, Dams, RK Salai and Anna Salai Road. The Greater Chennai police said water logging is being removed from roads and traffic is slow.

Cyclonic Storm ‘Michaung’ Upgraded to Severe Cyclonic Storm, Impacts South India

In a recent update by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Monday, Cyclonic Storm ‘Michaung’ has escalated into a severe cyclonic storm and is projected to make landfall along the west-central Bay of Bengal, near the south Andhra Pradesh and adjoining north Tamil Nadu coasts by December 5.

As per IMD’s forecast, the cyclonic storm presently resides over the Southwest Bay of Bengal and is anticipated to progress northwestwards, gaining strength before reaching the Westcentral Bay of Bengal off the coasts of south Andhra Pradesh and north Tamil Nadu by Monday forenoon.

The weather agency has cautioned that the storm is likely to intensify further while moving nearly northwards, running parallel to the south Andhra Pradesh coast. The expected landfall is estimated to occur between Nellore and Machilipatnam, close to Bapatla, during December 5 forenoon, boasting maximum sustained winds of 90-100 kmph, gusting up to 110 kmph.

The impact of Cyclone Michaung has been notably severe, inducing heavy rainfall resulting in significant waterlogging across various parts of Chennai. Low-lying areas, hospitals, and residential zones experienced inundation, prompting civic agencies to engage in drainage efforts.

The adverse weather conditions have substantially disrupted transportation services, affecting both train and flight schedules. Consequently, the Chennai bench of the Madras High Court and district courts within the city have ceased operations.

Reports indicate waterlogging in multiple areas like Maduravoyal, Porur, Saligaramam, and Valasaravakkam. Additionally, the strong winds accompanying the storm have uprooted trees in various places.

The impact on transportation services has been substantial, with numerous cancellations and delays reported. PTI reported the cancellation of 12 domestic outbound flights to destinations such as Ahmedabad and Thiruvananthapuram, along with four international services to Dubai and Srilanka by a private carrier. Furthermore, three incoming international flights were redirected to Bengaluru.

Train services have also faced disruptions, with 11 express trains departing from Chennai Central canceled due to rising water levels at Bridge No. 14 between Vyasarpadi and Basin Bridge, attributed to heavy rainfall.

An official communication from the Divisional Railway Manager, Chennai, Southern Railway, shared on social media, expressed regret over the inconvenience caused and advised travelers to plan their journeys accordingly.

Authorities have issued warnings, emphasizing the severity of the situation and the consequences for non-compliance. The official notice underscores that any violation will be subject to penalties, including imprisonment or fines.

The situation remains critical as South India braces for the impact of Cyclone Michaung, urging residents and authorities to take necessary precautions and adhere to safety guidelines.
