Sat Nov 30 10:23:22 UTC 2024: ## Man Found Dead in Chennai Floodwaters Amid Cyclone Fengal’s Approach
**Chennai, India** – A disturbing video has emerged showing the body of an unidentified man recovered from floodwaters outside an ATM in Chennai. Police suspect electrocution as the cause of death and are investigating. The incident occurred amidst torrential rainfall in the city as Cyclone Fengal, which is expected to make landfall this evening, approaches.
The cyclone, which earlier impacted Sri Lanka, causing at least 12 deaths (including six children), has already led to widespread flooding and waterlogging in Chennai. Chennai International Airport remains temporarily closed until 7 pm as a precaution.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning of heavy to very heavy rainfall for several districts in Tamil Nadu, including Chennai, and Puducherry. Scientists have linked the increasing intensity of such storms to climate change.
