Cyclone Michaung made a devastating landfall near Bapatla on the Andhra Pradesh coast, wreaking havoc after unleashing rain chaos in Tamil Nadu. With at least eight casualties reported in rain-related incidents in Chennai, the storm surge threatens south coastal Andhra Pradesh. The cyclone, expected as a severe cyclonic storm with winds reaching 90-100 km/h (gusting up to 110 km/h), prompted an alert for eight Andhra districts. Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy declared it a major challenge, urging precautionary measures. Evacuations and relief camps are in progress, while Home Minister Amit Shah assures central support. Coastal areas in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry remain on high alert, anticipating heavy rainfall.
