world π Nepal flash flood speed hits 300 kmph
A massive flash flood recently swept through Battar, Nepal, causing many people to go missing. Mountaineers suggest a large glacial event, around a kilometer in size, broke off near 5,000 meters. Researchers reported the water mass was moving at an alarming 300 km per hour as it traveled down steep terrain. Three lakes have formed, and experts warn that any rockfall could trigger a second deluge. Authorities are urging residents to move to high ground while awaiting further action.
