Chennai, India - December 03, 2025 A brutal flash flood tore through a narrow industrial street near Wimco Nagar around 6:00 AM on December 3, 2025, after more than an hour of nonstop monsoon rain from a tail-end depression. Murky brown water surged ankle to calf deep, carrying leaves, plastic debris, and oily runoff from clogged drains. Yellow auto-rickshaws stood partly submerged against a graffiti-marked concrete wall, while a distant scooter’s red taillight flickered through the haze. Massive gray factory buildings vanished into the rising water as their loading bays and fences went under. A neem tree whipped in the rain as visibility dropped to around 20 feet, leaving the street empty except for the roar of fast-flowing water. With 50–75 mm of rainfall in 90 minutes, drainage failures stranded workers and crippled early commutes across this flood-prone industrial zone. The original X post titled "Situation Near Wimconagar" sparked replies such as "Thrashed for 75 minutes non-stop" as the IMD red alert warned of isolated 100+ mm bursts across the region.
