The cyclone has weakened into a deep depression about 30 km off the north-coast of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. In Sri Lanka the storm left at least 334 people dead and around 370 missing, destroying nearly 20,000 homes and forcing over 100,000 into shelters. In Tamil Nadu, heavy rains and gusty winds of 60-80 km/h triggered the deaths of three people in rain-related incidents; authorities issued alerts for coastal districts including Chennai, Kanchipuram and Vellore. Emergency teams from disaster relief units are on standby and over 400 stranded Indians were evacuated from Sri Lanka via air.
