DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) -- News reports say storms with heavy rains and strong winds have killed at least 17 people and injured dozens more in Bangladesh.
Dhaka's Prothom Alo and Janakantha newspapers say Friday's storms damaged mud-and-straw huts and felled trees in 10 of the country's 64 districts.
The reports say most of the deaths occurred from lightning. Some victims were buried under their collapsed houses.
Official confirmation of the reports was not immediately available.

Central India HEATS UP!!!
*** Wardha,Chandrapur ( Maharashtra) record maximum temperature of 43.1C ( IMD) ON 8TH APRIL 2012 ***
*** NAGPUR RECORDS TEMPERATURE OF 41.1C ( IMD) OR 43C ( PWS) TODAY***
The Summer is in a full swing in Central India as the winds from the west are getting a good scope to bring the dry air as the system of low pressures across India coupled with the anticyclone ( High Pressure) in Arabian Sea continues to pump moisture and boosted winds! The quantum of moisture has reduced for some days but shall increase again after the mid of this week thus bringing more clouds and convective activity in Central India.
Above- Extraordinary heating over Central India causing the low pressures as shown in the image contine to pull moisture and subsequent heat adding to maximum temperatures
Another western disturbance will affect North India within 24hrs from now
