At Least 19 Killed as Cyclone Pummels India's Southeast Coast |  | | NEW DELHI, Dec 30, 2011 - Lashing winds and heavy rain pummeled India's southeastern coastline Friday as Cyclone Thane roared onshore killing at least 19 people.
The storm uprooted trees, ripped off traffic signals from their posts and sent shards of glass and other debris whizzing through the air. Roads began to flood and communications were tough because of cellular service outages.
Thane hit the states of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu and the union territory of Puducherry. But it took a decidedly southern turn as it made landfall, severely affecting the Tamil Nadu district of Cuddalore, south of the city of Chennai. Winds were gusting in Cuddalore at almost 90 miles per hour.Read full story |
