I’m glad to be able to say that although Cyclone Jal did leave its mark in India, with uprooted trees and snapped power cables, the impact wasn’t as widespread as feared. That’s because the cyclone thankfully weakened as it drifted towards Chennai on Sunday night. Apparently, it was the first time in 14 years that a cyclone had passed so close to the city. Scary!

Despite this, there sadly is a death toll. Eleven people have been killed by heavy rains in Andhra Pradesh. The rough weather is expected to continue until tomorrow.
