Cyclone Michaung wreaked havoc in Chennai, prompting the Madras High Court to declare a citywide holiday. Roads submerged in knee-high water and canceled suburban trains disrupted commuters. Flights faced delays, while the Regional Meteorological Centre forecasted ongoing heavy rain and strong winds in Chennai, Kancheepuram, Tiruvallur, and Chengalpattu until Monday night. The cyclonic storm intensified from a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal, expected to make landfall on the South Andhra Pradesh coast on December 5. The calamity disrupted daily life, causing floods, canceled trains, and water entering homes in various areas, creating widespread chaos and distress.
