In Kancheepuram district, nearly 44 kuppams in 30 revenue villages were affected leaving a population of nearly one lakh stranded. The destruction was so severe that several pucca houses were flattened and fishing boats smashed. The East Coast Road saved many habitations lying to the west but the smaller coastal hamlets became deathbeds and 130 persons died in the district.
The nuclear atomic power plant at Kalapakkam has always been a sensitive area. Though seawater entered the power plant, the authorities promptly dispelled fears of danger.
