Cyclone Nilam's final toll: 4 dead, 100,000 displaced

Cyclone Nilam has killed 4 people and displaced more than 100,000 people in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Just before the storm made landfall, an oil tanker with 37 crew ran aground off Chennai. One of its lifeboats capsized in the choppy waters, and one crew member drowned. Coast guard officers were searching for the lifeboat’s six other occupants.

Sri Lanka reported two deaths earlier from the cyclone. Cyclone Nilam packed maximum winds of 75 kilometers per hour after landfall but was weakening. A storm surge of up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) was expected to flood low-lying coastal areas. Heavy rain has been forecast for Thursday, and fishermen have been asked to stay at shore for a second day. State authorities turned 282 schools into relief centers in Chennai. The city’s port halted cargo operations, officials said. Twenty-three ships were moved to safer areas. About 150,000 people were moved to shelters in Nellore, district official B Sridhar said. Associated Press
