Cyclone Michaung leaves 17 dead in India
Cyclone-struck Chennai struggled to get back on its feet on Tuesday as several colonies remained marooned hampering rescue efforts while the death toll rose to 17.
Michaung, which dumped 60 cm of rainfall in 48 hours on Tamil Nadu's capital, made landfall near Bapatla, Andhra Pradesh, in the afternoon and walloped Rayalaseema and the coastal Andhra Pradesh region with driving rain that inundated hundreds of acres of agricultural lands and low-lying areas, the Indian media said.
