Chennai Rains in a few Photos (Dec, 2015)

As you maybe aware, Chennai is reeling under torrential rains over the past 3-4 weeks. Here are some photos taken by me while driving on the Chennai – Tambaram Highway (Bypass road) today morning, after the heavy downpour, during the third depression in November/December 2015. Most of the photos below are from the low-lying Kundrathur area in Chennai, which is one of the locations that’s been affected badly by the floods.

    That is alarming. How did you get there and how did you move out

    1. Rajesh K

      There is a bypass road that is actually a long overbridge. It is at a good height, and except at a couple of places, didn’t have much water. I used that road to get to these areas.
