As a coastal city sitting right next to the Bay of Bengal with a flat terrain, Chennai is not unknown to floods. For most people from the current generation, 2015 may be the first flood event that comes to memory. But even before 2015, years like 2005, 1978, 1967, 1943, and 1937 saw major floods in the city.
