Cyclone Fengal caused widespread flooding in India.

Footage shows a fire truck navigating through the floodwaters, with a white SUV trapped in the deluge in Puducherry on November 30.

The cyclone caused significant disruption in the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu, including Chennai. Initially classified as a deep depression, it intensified into a cyclonic storm before crossing the Tamil Nadu-Puducherry coastline near Mahabalipuram, with wind speeds reaching 80 km/h.

Schools and colleges were closed as a precaution, and disruptions included delayed flights, power outages, and transportation challenges.

Authorities said Fengal has killed at least 19 people in India and Sri Lanka. Puducherry experienced its heaviest 24-hour rainfall in 30 years, as reported by the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

In Sri Lanka, the latest data from the Disaster Management Centre indicates that the heavy rain affected 138,944 families in the country.
