This is what a GLOF looks like in motion: a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood, sometimes called a Jökulhlaup (Icelandic for "glacier run").
Basically: meltwater builds up in a basin trapped against or beneath a glacier. Eventually the ice dam gives way, and all that pent-up water rushes out; sometimes over the course of a day or more.
At Columbia Glacier, this happens almost like clockwork, roughly once a year, with the lake taking about a day and a half to fully drain. No roads, no homes in the path; so it mostly happens quietly, without anyone downstream even noticing.
Compare that to Juneau, where GLOFs along the Mendenhall River actually threaten homes and residents in the valley each year. Serious flood-mitigation work has gone into protecting the community there.
Watching that volume of water suddenly break free from under a glacier is still humbling.

Glaciers aren't the frozen, unmoving things people picture. They're alive, shifting, releasing; a reminder that even "solid" landscapes are anything but static.

@TheInsiderPaper Scariest video from Nepal Flood

[Insider Paper @TheInsiderPaper]

BREAKING: New footage shows absolutely horrifying scenes along the China-Nepal border amid devastating flash floods, hundreds missing, many feared dead

[Jeff Colton @Juiceman]

This is just unreal

[Surajit @surajit_ghosh2]

Ground level footage shows people running for their lives as a sudden flash flood tears through the Nepal–Tibet region

We've lost our damn minds.
The Lindsay Clancy mass psychosis proves that a lot of people need to have their Wifi taken away. But this psychosis started many years before TikTok...

🚨 NOW: Spencer Pratt’s video is going VIRAL on X after TikTok TOOK IT DOWN!

Big Tech censors, but it only backfires and spreads faster.
THIS IS THE POWER OF X! 🇺🇸

Colorado residents came together and gathered enough signatures to get Initiative 177, the "Right to Natural Gas" measure, on the ballot this November

70% of homes in Colorado use natural gas for heating and cooking, residents are worried Democrats are moving towards banning it

“The group behind this initiative, Advance Colorado, says the state's clean energy goals are putting into question how accessible natural gas will be in the future”

Democrats are saying this isn’t necessary because it’s not illegal to use or sell natural gas, except here’s the part Democrats don’t want you to know

Colorado Democrats support and advanced policies aimed at significantly reducing natural gas use, especially for home heating, cooking and buildings and moving toward electric. They even have a long-term target of phasing it out by 2050

Not what we wanted to see tonight. But the starters brought the heat. Gotta get the backups stronger. This will be good. Let's roll. It's a long season and we haven't even started yet.

[Jeff Colton @Juiceman]

@SleeperBroncos 100% yes.

[Jeff Colton @Juiceman]

Denver has a backup QB problem. Depth is good, except at the position that matters most. We all know what happened.

[Jeff Colton @Juiceman]

Well that's 3 drives. He's not proving me wrong yet. Stidham must go.

[Jeff Colton @Juiceman]

@DavidJHarrisJr Yes

[Jeff Colton @Juiceman]

@itsrosesm Yes

[Jeff Colton @Juiceman]

2 Stidham drives and still convinced there are better options. Waste of $$

[Jeff Colton @Juiceman]

Not sure how, but ok. TD GB. Go Bears. And no PI on GB.

[Jeff Colton @Juiceman]

BS call. But it's preseason

[Jeff Colton @Juiceman]

Juiceman is over Stidham. I'm ready to move on to a new number 2 man. Just to many bad memories for the game that mattered most last year. And he's average at best. There are a lot of average at best back ups IMO. My 2 cents after 1 pre season game and 1 series in game 2.

[Jeff Colton @Juiceman]

Well. It's sure nice to have Bronco Football back. Cannot wait for the games to count. Let's get out of this healthy fellas. Knocking on wood.

[Jeff Colton @Juiceman]

@GuntherEagleman He should be. But Rubio makes me smile as a Republican. We are ready for whatever that throw at us.
