The recent inundation in Chennai, spurred by the force of Cyclone Michaung, has once again underscored the vulnerability of Indian cities in the face of climate-induced catastrophes. Within a mere 48 hours by December 4, 2023, Chennai bore the brunt of over 40 cm of rainfall, casting a glaring light on the growing climate emergency haunting urban India. The aftermath of Cyclone Michaung claimed the lives of over twenty individuals and wrought havoc across Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
While the cyclonic intensity diminished into a marked low-pressure zone after a span of two days, regions in states like Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha persisted in experiencing relentless downpours. Floods and waterlogging continue to afflict numerous districts in Tamil Nadu, rendering several suburban areas submerged and disrupting the routine lives of its inhabitants.
