新德里：周三晚上，超强雷暴席卷了印度许多地区，在过去的24小时里造成至少127人死亡，留下满目疮痍的景象，房屋夷为平地，树木连根拔起，电线杆东倒西歪。

“Concrete houses came down like pack of cards one after the other. Trees, streetlights and whatever stood taller than a few feet were flattened by the winds. We took out victims from debris of houses and ferried them to hospitals on motorcycles,” Narendra Sharma, the SHO of Kheragarh police station in Agra district, told TOI after spending the night in rescue ops.

“混凝土房屋像纸牌一样，一张张倒下来了。树、街灯和任何比几英尺高的东西都被风夷为平地。我们从房屋残骸中挖出受害者，用摩托车运送到医院。”阿格拉区可合拉嘎警察局的高级警官纳伦德拉·夏尔马在救援行动结束后告诉《印度时报》。

With 24 deaths, Kheragarh tehsil in Agra near UP Rajasthan border bore the maxmum brunt of the storm in the district. Deaths were reported from other parts of the state too.

Over 200 people have been injured in the storm which affected Bharatpur, Dholpur and Alwar districts. After a horrifying night, Thursday morning brought in a host of woes as people woke up to disruption in water and power supply.

在拉贾斯坦邦，内政部长古拉布·查和卡塔利亚周四公布的死亡人数为33人，但非官方消息人士称，该数字已在当晚攀升至39人。超过200人在这场风暴中受伤，这场风暴影响了巴拉特普尔、道尔普尔和、阿尔瓦尔区。在经历了一个可怕的夜晚之后，周四早上，人们醒来发现了一系列灾难，水和电力供应都出现中断。

No warning from meteorological department?... Storm of such massive scale and no warning??... IMD did well in recent past when there were cyclonic storms in coastal AP. So what happened now?

气象部门都没有预警吗?这么大规模的风暴，没有警告?最近沿海地区发生气旋风暴时印度气象部的表现不错啊，现在发生了什么?
