Car Blown Away due to Cyclone Vardah in Chennai

Cyclone Vardah hits at Chennai hard as several cars and bikes have been reported damaged due to the storm and rainfall

Cyclone Vardah has severely slammed the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. In Chennai, several cars and bikes have been reported damaged due to the storm. Because of the high wind speed between 120 kmph and 130 kmph along with heavy rain, several trees and electric pole have been uprooted in the city causing havoc. Once, the cyclone’s wind speed topped about 190 kmph alarmingly.

Apart from that, the cyclone Vardah has caused landfall as well near Chennai city. Here in this video from a parking lot in the city, a car was seen lying upside down, while another car was toppled due to the heavy wind speed in the region. The exact same case has happened in several areas around the Chennai city, while the uprooted trees and electric poles have also caused damage to the cars and bikes at several other places as well.
