Tropical Storm Dana made landfall along India's eastern coast late Thursday night, uprooting trees with its torrential rains and strong winds.

The storm entered Odisha state with maximum sustained winds of around 110 kilometers (68 miles) per hour and gusts expected up to 120 kph (75 mph), according to the Indian Meteorological Department. Officials told the Press Trust of India news agency that the landfall process is expected to continue into Friday as the storm pushes further into northern Odisha, before gradually weakening over the next few hours.
