Global warming has hit the city of Chennai, and it has hit them hard. Chennai is currently experiencing massive flooding in their city. The rain seems to not want to stop for them, as the federal weather office has stated that they believe they could be experiencing three more days of rapid rain. This is bad news, as the city is already suffering from the flooding.
CHENNAI COMPLETELY DEVASTATED BY FLOODING
The amount of water that is present in Chennai is amazing. In November, they experienced a week in which there was non-stop rain and then it got worse. Recently, there were three straight days of rain that led to the town being terrorized by the flooding. Several authorities in Chennai are saying that all schools, factories, and various other buildings are shut down currently. They also said that many people are without power. The last thing the authorities mentioned was that all flights are being shut down there.
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AFFECTED IN CHENNAI
Obviously, everyone there is affected by this flooding one way or another. The schools being shut down affects the students. The factories being shut down will affect families income. This is not to mention all of the people who are just trying to live through this. The army reported that they had rescued more than 2,000 people already. However, it is known now that at least 269 people have died from this flooding.
GLOBAL WARMING IS NOW APPARENT IN CHENNAI
This flooding can be linked to global warming. Of course, what can not be accounted to global warming these days. There is nothing that the citizens of Chennai can do about the flooding when the rain does not stop. There is no defense for them other than being prepared for it. However, eventually it will take over their lives and, unfortunately, it appears like that has already happened.
