Chennai Cyclone Michaung: In a heavy rainfall that is reportedly being witnessed after almost 70 to 80 years in Chennai, the situation is worsening by the minute as the threats of the destructive Cyclone Michaung continue to loom over the area. From damaged public properties to submerged roads and streets, Chennai is on high alert. Amid all this, the city witnessed an unexpected ‘horror story’ when a massive crocodile was seen roaming on a half-submerged road that was in active use by commuters. The reptile was seen at the side of the road, while a few people driving vehicles promptly pressed the brakes as soon as they spotted the ‘guest’. A video of the same that was circulating on social media went viral.
The video was shared on the social media site X (formerly Twitter) by the handle ‘Memer Aspirant’. The post was captioned, “A crocodile going for a casual stroll middle of a highway in Perungalathur. Peak chaos. #ChennaiRains.”
