What Actually Triggered the Nepal–Tibet Border Flash Flood?
#Nepal was hit hard by a Glacier !
A massive ice and rock avalanche from a glacier triggered a chain reaction near the Nepal–Tibet border. The avalanche and debris blocked the river, forming a temporary barrier lake. When the blockage gave way, a powerful surge of water, mud and debris rushed downstream, causing devastating flash floods across Gyirong in Tibet and Nepal’s Rasuwa district.
Glacial collapse → Debris blockage → Temporary barrier lake → Breach → Devastating flash flood !
