COLOMBO — The death toll from Cyclone Fengal's fierce push through Sri Lanka and southern India reached 20 on Monday as downpours and floods followed the storm's wake after its winds calmed.
Fengal made landfall in India's Tamil Nadu state on Saturday, bringing the highest 24-hour rainfall seen in 30 years to the nearby city of Puducherry, before weakening to a normal low-pressure weather system by Monday morning.
