Before this, Vishnu had shared that he was trapped in his Chennai residence without electricity or a network. He also revealed that water had entered his house. Alongside sharing photos showcasing the destruction, he expressed hope for assistance, as the water level rose alarmingly in Karapakkam.

In Tamil Nadu, torrential rain triggered by the cyclone caused havoc, predominantly impacting districts such as Chennai, Chengalpattu, Kancheepuram, Nagapattinam, Cuddalore, and Thiruvallur. Currently, a large portion of Chennai is submerged in floodwaters, particularly affecting low-lying areas. Despite the efforts of civic agency personnel in clearing stagnant water, waterlogged roads have caused cars to float in certain regions.

Tamil actors Suriya and Karthi have announced an initial donation of Rs 10 lakhs, which will be utilized to provide any necessary relief assistance. The distribution of aid will be managed through their respective fan clubs.
