Low-lying residents of the nearby union territory of Puducherry were evacuated, and the government issued SMS alerts warning citizens to prepare for the hurricane.
Due to several flight cancellations, hundreds of people were affected and a portion of the Chennai airport was submerged. Airport operations were halted until 4 a.m. on Sunday.
