India Meteorological Department (IMD) stated Cyclone Michaung has completed its destructive landfall after wreaking havoc in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. The severe cyclone claimed 12 lives in Chennai despite relentless efforts by the NDRF personnel to rescue citizens amid heavy floods. DMK MP NR Elango said: "It has affected normal life but since yesterday evening, the TN CM, ministers, mayor are on the streets with people...They saw to that there is no loss of life or non-supply of essentials." IMD scientist HR Biswas expects the storm to weaken soon after it slammed the Andhra coast earlier as a severe cyclone. Essential supplies continued despite transportation disruptions from the cyclone in Chennai. After the system unleashed savage winds and flooding over southern states leading to loss of lives, officials worked overnight to aid citizens through the Michaung havoc falling at the peak of its intensity.
