Chennai - A severe cyclone dumped heavy rain and sent wind gusts up
to 140 kmph after it hit the Tamil Nadu coast today killing at least
33 persons and left a trail of destruction and threw life out of gear
in Cuddalore district and adjacent Union Territory of Puducherry.
The cyclonic storm 'Thane' however left the southern Andhra Pradesh
coast unscathed after keeping everyone in the state on toes for the
last two days. The two southern states were on high alert.
Cuddalore, about 170 km from here on the east coast, bore the brunt
of the cyclonic fury, accounting for 21 deaths, Puducherry(seven),
Villupuram and Tiruvallur(two each) and Chennai(one)in rain-related
incidents mainly wall collapse and electrocution, officials said.
The storm crossed the coast between Cuddalore and Puducherry bringing
in its wake torrential rains accompanied by gale that uprooted
hundreds of trees and knocked electric poles, snapping power supply
in several areas.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa said the cyclone claimed 26
lives in four districts in the state and released Rs 150 crore for
immediate relief works.
The tiny Puducherry was cut off from neighbouring districts in Tamil
Nadu with the uprooted trees blocking road traffic.
The cyclone also disrupted rail and air operations with services
cancelled or rescheduled. Flights to international destinations
including the middle-east and Malaysia from Chennai were cancelled
following the inclement weather.
Southern Railway partially cancelled and rescheduled most of the
trains between Chennai and southern districts.
In Chennai, a cargo ship ran aground off Marina Beach with the sea
conditions remaining rough. Sheet of water could be seen on the
service road along the beach which was lashed by tidal waves.

where to post and where not to post, deliberately publishing lies
about others, stalking and abusing them with hate speech -- but fails
miserably. He is really stressed out, and like his lap dog Prem

heart disease.
