Today, a flash flood has swept through markets, settlements, and hydropower projects along the Bhotekoshi River in Timure and Syabrubesi, Gosainkunda Rural Municipality, Rasuwa District, Bagmati Province, Nepal.

That is not a flash flood…. something failed upstream…. either a dam or levy of some sort holding a lake or large body of water back

🇹🇭 Massive flash flood swept away tourists trying to take selfies in a restricted area.

If you ever hear a big roar coming down from up-valley, don't think. Just run uphill.

Video 📸🎥

Nepal or China? It says China Power.

Devastated 😓

I would be running uphill before that water rounded the next bend

Man made disaster caused by China built dam.

How did this happen?

According to reports cited by local media, Nepal’s Foreign Minister said the earthquake triggered an avalanche, which then caused flooding.

@TheTechnocratt When I hear "flash flood" I think of some massive amount of rain. Pretty wild what dam blew out up stream like that. Stuff you see on disaster movies.

@WeatherMonitors This is just unbelievable

@cajunblazing @WeatherMonitors @grok 你怎么看？

@TheTechnocratt @cajunblazing @WeatherMonitors 这是严重自然灾害。官方确认：8月26日10时30分许，尼泊尔一侧泥石流波及西藏日喀则吉隆口岸，造成重大人员伤亡和失联，道路、通信、电力中断。国家已启动二级救灾响应，调派数百名消防、工程及武警力量，携带设备全力搜救，并调拨3万件物资。当前正值汛期，需警惕次生灾害。希望尽快找到失联人员。

@MHDD0321 @TheTechnocratt @cajunblazing @WeatherMonitors どこの政府ですか？

@MHDD0321 @TheTechnocratt @cajunblazing @WeatherMonitors 中国政府です。「国家」は中国（中華人民共和国）を指しています。

Pretty tough to watch knowing they're all gone

Let's pray for Nepal

This is the same river that had a deadly GLOF-triggered flood last year too — killed 9, washed away the Friendship Bridge. Downstream Bihar districts should take the warnings seriously given the pattern.

Preliminary reports indicate a magnitude 4.4 earthquake near the Nepal-Tibet border at about 08:37 local time triggered an ice/rock avalanche. This blocked the Lhende River upstream in Tibet, creating a temporary dam that suddenly burst and sent a massive surge into the Bhote

Soo tragic ... many people lost their lives, RIP

MORE DETAILS: Missing count now sits at nearly 400 people across a dozen+ nationalities. Death toll has nearly doubled within hours, from 9 to 17.

Pray for nepal

This is by far the largest and most terrifying volume of water I've ever seen in a video. May God bless all the families of the victims during this difficult time...

holy wtf...

When mother nature tells you to move, there is no arguing.

これはもっと上流の治水工事で、何か重大な失敗をしてないだろうか？

No digan mentiras! Una puta presa china se rompió !! Los chinos tuvieron la culpa!!

Very very bad news

@grok how does a flash-flood work?

Humans are worms in front of. Nature

Heavy rainfall over the Tibetan plateau region, compounding the sheer volume of water entering Nepal's river systems causing the flood

Natural disasters are scary asf how can one even escape from things like this

Could edited it so I didn’t have to nearly puke at the end with him running and recording!
