Dust storms, heavy rain, and lightning have damaged homes and killed at least 96 people in northern India. The storms also knocked out power and caused injuries as they swept across several districts late Wednesday in Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state. Officials said some deaths were caused by falling trees, collapsing structures and lightning. Emergency crews worked overnight to restore power and clear roads. Storms are common in northern India during the hot season from March to June, before the annual monsoon rains arrive.
