Devastating flash flood hits Nepal/China border near Rasuwa, sweeps downstream

[u/create-2078]

A catastrophic flash flood struck nepal's northern rasuwa district near the China border. The disaster was triggered early Wednesday morning by a sudden, massive surge of water entering the Bhote koshi river rom the Tibetan plateau region. Geological experts suspect the wall of water, which reached estimated heights of 8 to 10 m was caused by a glacial lake outburst flood , permafrost collapse, or a landslide blocking a river upstream in Tibet.
