At least three persons were killed in lightning strikes and tree collapse incidents in Latur district of Maharashtra on Sunday evening, officials said.

More than 1,100 bales of fodder were destroyed in a major fire triggered by a lightning strike in Sakhre village in Palghar district of Maharashtra on early Monday morning, officials said.

At least seven persons were injured on Saturday when lightning struck a house amid heavy showers in a village in Palghar district of Maharashtra, officials said.

Rakesh Raut, who was filming the video from his residence, said he was taking a nap but was woken up by the stormy weather.

Lightning strikes killed eight people in Bihar on Friday and two minor boys drowned in a rainwater-filled lake in Maharashtra, even as the flood situation remained grim in Assam, claiming one more life and affecting over a million people in 20 districts.

The flood situation in Assam and Bihar remained grim on Sunday even as a rain-triggered building collapse in Maharashtra's Bhiwandi claimed at least nine lives while the death toll in lightning strikes in Odisha went up to 32 with three more casualties.
