Death toll from India’s Uttar Pradesh storms rises to 111
Powerful storms that swept across India's northern Uttar Pradesh state this week killed at least 111 people.
Gales, lightning and torrential rain battered the state on Wednesday (May 13), uprooting trees and ripping tin roofs from buildings as more than 200 homes were damaged.
Uttar Pradesh is frequently hit by storms ahead of the monsoon season, with lightning strikes a regular cause of death.
