Cyclone Fengal has caused severe flooding in Tamil Nadu, with parked buses being swept away in Uthangarai due to the overflowing Parasaneri Lake.

Confusion surrounds Cyclone Fengal's landfall. While the Meteorological Department declared landfall, a private weather analyst reported the cyclone remains at sea. Heavy rainfall is expected to continue in Chennai and Puducherry.

As of Saturday morning, Cyclone Fengal was located 110 km southeast of Chennai and 120 km east-northeast of Puducherry, moving westward at 13 kmph. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts landfall near Puducherry by night,

To assist residents, 329 relief centers have been set up across Chennai, providing food, water, and shelter. Schools and colleges are closed in Chennai and Puducherry.

The uncharacteristically slow pace of the cyclone has caused it to hover over the Bay of Bengal, causing it to gather more moisture. According to experts, this is causing heavy rain in several parts of the state.

Cyclone Fengal made landfall on Saturday night between 10:30 pm and 11:30 pm IST, near Puducherry, with wind speeds of 70-80 km/h, gusting up to 90 km/h.
