Answer:
tamil nadu
On December 12, Vardah weakened into a Severe Cyclonic Storm, before making landfall over the eastern coast of India, close to Chennai, Tamil Nadu, with winds of 65 mph (105 km/h). Afterward, it rapidly weakened into a depression, due to land interaction, on 13 December.
Very Severe Cyclonic Storm Vardah was the fourth cyclonic storm, as well as the most intense tropical cyclone of the 2016 North Indian Ocean cyclone season. The system struck the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, as well as South India, before later affecting Somalia.

Cyclone Fani has made landfall in Odisha, triggering heavy rainfall and submerging several villages in the state. Bengal too is bracing for impact in the next few hours.
With wind speed over 185 kmph, Cyclone Fani hit Odisha on Friday morning, uprooting trees, hoardings and ransacking windows panes along the entire eastern coastline, covering Bengal, Andhra Pradesh along with Odisha.
With wind speeds now touching 240-250 kmph, Cyclone Fani is turning out to be one of the biggest and fiercest cyclones that have hit the country.
