Tamil Nadu Floods:  Cyclone Fengal has wreaked havoc in many parts of Tamil Nadu. Meanwhile, dramatic images from the Uthangarai bus terminal emerged, showing floodwaters submerging buses and other vehicles in the aftermath of the cyclonic storm, leaving them helplessly adrift.

Several vehicles have been caught on camera getting swept away by the rapid currents, demonstrating the severity of the floods brought by Cyclone Fengal's rain.

According to officials, Krishnagiri experienced continuous rainfall for more than 14 hours, with the Uthangarai area receiving the most rainfall overnight.

The swelling waves also stranded numerous individuals in various parts of Southern India, necessitating ongoing relief and rescue activities in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.

Cyclone Fengal, which crossed the shores of North Tamil Nadu and Puducherry on Saturday, now weakened into a deep depression during the next several days, according to the India Meteorological Department.
