Heavy rain continued in Chennai and other parts of Tamil Nadu on Wednesday, bringing residential neighborhoods and roads under knee-deep water and leading to traffic congestion besides affecting public transport services.

Since Monday night, Chennai and its suburbs, including those in the nearby Tiruvallur district, have been experiencing intermittent rains.

As the Tamil Nadu braces for heavy to extremely heavy rainfall over the next three days, Chief Minister M K Stalin has ordered schools and colleges in Chennai to remain closed on October 15.

Overnight rain had delayed the start of the match by an hour. Heavy overcast conditions influenced India's team selection as the hosts kept all three pacers from the Chennai Test, which meant that local boy Kuldeep Yadav missed out on another Test match.

Chennai witnessed a waterlogging situation in various parts of the city after heavy rain lashed the city on Wednesday night.

Traffic moved at a snail's pace, and commuters faced severe road jams as rains lashed parts of the Chennai district on Sunday evening.

Life in Chennai has been paralysed due to heavy rainfall and floods caused by cyclone Michaung. The constant rains have left city flooded and struggling to return to normal life.

It's been over 30 hours since rains brought by cyclonic storm "Michaung" triggered heavy rain in coastal Tamil Nadu. But residents in several low-lying pockets of Chennai are still struggling to move to safety.

Cyclone Michaung made landfall yesterday following heavy rain in Andhra Pradesh and flooding in Chennai. The severe cyclonic storm that originated in the Bay of Bengal weakened into a depression, the India Meteorological Department said.

As heavy rains submerged roads and flooded homes ahead of Cyclone Michaung's landfall, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Tuesday said that Chennai was saved because of the stormwater drain system that was developed by the ruling DMK government.

Over a thousand flights connecting Chennai were cancelled since yesterday after heavy rain due to Cyclone Michaung forced shut the city airport.

North coastal Tamil Nadu and Puducherry are expected to experience light to moderate rainfall in most places and isolated heavy rainfall on Tuesday morning, decreasing thereafter, according to the latest IMD bulletin.

Cyclone Michaung landfall has started near Bapatla on Andhra Pradesh coast after causing rain mayhem in Tamil Nadu. So far, at least eight people have died in rain-related incidents in Chennai.

A road in Chennai's upscale Poes Garden area caved in as Cyclone Michaung brought with it strong gusts of winds and torrential rains that pounded the city.
