At least 27 people were dead in Cuddalore district.

Schools and colleges in northern districts including Chennai, Vellore, Thiruvallur and Kanchipuram remained closed.

Incessant rains and heavy winds have been battering the state for the last few days. Heavy rains inundated many areas in Chennai, throwing normal life out of gear.
