Massive Rains dumped by Nivar and one of the best rain filled cyclone in recent times

From morning Chennai is seeing gusty winds though we expected gusts to touch 100 km/hr, a maximum of 70 km/hr is recorded at Meenambakkam at morning. But it is not the winds, it is the rains which caused maximum trouble to the people. […]
