Cyclone Fury: Arnab Triggers Flooding and Widespread Disruption Across Coastal Areas

Summary
Cyclone Arnab has caused widespread disruption across parts of Andhra Pradesh and Puducherry, with heavy rainfall, strong winds, flooding and damage to infrastructure reported in several areas. In Yanam, rain ahead of the cyclone led to water entering homes and flooding neighbourhoods, including Sadim Sadipi Nagar and Gurempet. Puducherry minister Maladi Krishna Rao visited affected areas, while Lieutenant Governor Kailash Nath and senior officials monitored the situation. Strong winds also uprooted trees near the entrance to Yanam on National Highway 216.

Residents of flood-prone areas were being moved to relief camps. In Amalapuram, powerful winds caused trees to sway violently, while gusts of up to 150 km/h had been forecast during the cyclone’s passage.
