      Tropical Cyclone Mandous made landfall near the town of Mamallapuram in   
      the state of Tamil Nadu, southeast India late on December 9, 2022. As   
      the storm approached landfall, maximum sustained winds were estimated   
      at 50 mph (80.5 km/h). Mandous appeared to be on a weakening trend as   
      it approached the coast and quickly weakened to a depression, with   
      maximum sustained winds of 35 mph (56 km/h), once over land.   
      
      According to media reports, state officials reported 185 houses and   
      huts damaged by Tropical Cyclone Mandous and 400 trees uprooted in   
      Chennai, the state capital. Up to five people have died to   
      storm-related incidents, four of which were electrocutions from downed   
      powerlines.   
      
      The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board   
      NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of Tropical Cyclone   
      Mandous on December 9 as it was approaching landfall. At that time, the   
      large cloud-filled center remained over the Bay of Bengal, but   
      convective bands were bringing rain and wind gusts from Sri Lanka   
      northward to cover most of Andhra Pradesh.
