Uttar Pradesh storm deaths jump to 111 as roofs rip off and roads vanish under fallen trees

One survivor says he was lifted nearly 50 feet

Powerful pre-monsoon storms across Uttar Pradesh have killed at least 111 people, officials said, after an updated tally from an earlier figure of 89 deaths. Gales, lightning and torrential rain tore off tin roofs, uprooted trees and left roads blocked, with at least 72 injured and over 200 homes damaged initially. A widely shared video from Bareilly reportedly shows a labourer lifted about 50 feet while securing a roof, and he survived. Officials are distributing financial aid to families.
