Thank God no one was hurt! These sudden thunderstorms are getting more intense every year. Maybe buildings should have stricter safety checks for rooftop structures. 🌩️

I live nearby and the winds were crazy last night! My balcony plants all got knocked over. Can't imagine how scary it must have been for people in that building.

The article mentions another fire incident at Phoenix Mall too. Are these weather-related incidents increasing or is it just coincidence? Worrying trend either way.

Respectfully, I think the article could have included more details about the building's safety standards. Were these rooftop structures legally built? This could be a wake-up call for many buildings with similar setups.

My cousin lives in Thakurpada and said the storm lasted barely 15 minutes but caused so much damage. Climate change is real folks, we need to take weather warnings seriously!
