The district of Bannu bore witness to a devastating scene, as 11 precious lives were snuffed out, and 73 people found themselves caught in the harrowing chaos caused by collapsing roofs and walls. The sheer force of the rain wreaked havoc on the structures, leading to these heart-wrenching incidents. However, amidst the despair, rays of hope shone through as rescue operations swung into action. The brave responders tirelessly worked to evacuate the injured, swiftly transporting them to hospitals where medical professionals fought to save lives.

Meanwhile, in Lakki Marwat, the weight of the storm proved too heavy for roofs to bear, resulting in five lives tragically lost and more than 10 individuals left wounded.

Hospital sources revealed the somber details, adding a poignant touch to the already heartbreaking narrative.

As the tempestuous weather continued its rampage, another part of the nation, the city of Noorpur Thal in the Khushab district of Punjab, fell victim to its wrath. Here, three young girls met an untimely demise when a formidable wall succumbed to the combined forces of wind and rain. Their lives are cut short in an instant, leaving behind a void that can never be filled. Meanwhile, in Gujranwala, ten individuals bore the brunt of the ferocious windstorm, suffering injuries in accidents caused by the tempest's fury. Though no lives were lost in Gujranwala, the injured serve as living testaments to the indiscriminate nature of the elements.

In the vibrant city of Lahore, an ordinary day turned extraordinary as a sudden cold snap transitioned into a tempest of epic proportions. The evening brought with it torrential rain and a howling wind, unleashing chaos on the unsuspecting city. Roaring at a breathtaking speed of 111 kilometers per hour, the wind became a force to be reckoned with. Its unyielding power resulted in the tripping of 80 feeders in the Lesco region, plunging parts of the city into darkness. The storm's intensity was such that even an incoming IA flight was denied permission to land, a testament to the dire conditions that prevailed.
