My mother is stuck with some neighbors on the second floor of my house. First floor is 3/4 flooded. They are OK for now but food and water is going to become a problem if the rains don't let up :-(

My aunt had to be evacuated by boat from her place. I haven't lived in Chennai over 15 years but it is surreal to see the pictures.

Very frustrating that the government spent money on laying fiber and setting up a subway system over the past few years without doing anything to improve the drainage system. The city faces cyclones every year. This was just waiting to happen.
