A day after Cyclone 'Vardah' ripped through Chennai, the city presented a scene of devastation with thousands of uprooted trees, broken billboards, snapped telephone and power cables, besides waterlogging in low-lying areas.
Flight operations resumed on Tuesday morning in the storm-hit city, which is limping back to normalcy.
The storm, which was the most intense to have hit the Tamil Nadu capital in two decades and left four persons dead, snapped communication lines, flattened homes, and threw into disarray rail, road and air traffic as it crossed the coast yesterday.
However, with the rains having abated since morning, people came out on the streets and some of them queued up at roadside tea stalls.
