How I got through Chennai's heaviest rainfall since 2015 | First-person account

India Today  

I fell asleep last night to the roar of thunder and woke up this morning to find that my city had gone under.

On Sunday, Chennai received the heaviest rainfall it has had since 2015. We must prepare to do without electricity at least for the rest of today -- I am saving up every last percent of my phone’s battery like my life depends on it!
