Massive storm surge waves flood the Ennore Expressway in North Chennai, India

On October 27, 2026, in Ennore, North Chennai, India, @omjasvinMD shared a video showing massive storm surge waves crashing onto the Ennore Expressway during severe coastal weather. In the video, towering waves carrying white sea foam surge over the roadside barrier and flood the wet roadway, drenching passing vehicles. A white sedan and a motorcyclist are caught near the advancing water but manage to stop as the surge blocks their path. According to reports, the rough seas were associated with Cyclone Arnab, whose powerful waves battered Chennai's coastline despite the storm's expected landfall along the Andhra Pradesh coast. Authorities temporarily closed the affected stretch of the expressway and diverted traffic to inland roads due to the hazardous conditions.
