This may be one of the most terrifying ground-level views of the Nepal floods yet.

From the safety of a screen, it's hard to grasp the sheer force of the water. Standing there, watching an entire landscape turn into a raging torrent in seconds, is a different reality altogether.

Prayers for everyone affected. 🇳🇵

I feel like it should be bigger news that fibreglass is in IV saline bags in the US.

This isn’t a situation where you might get a little sick.

Fibreglass going directly into your veins will kill you

IV saline is used for almost every medical procedure.

This is unconscionable

⚠️ BREAKING: Rescue operations have been halted in Nepal's Rasuwa district and Tibet. The massive landslide upstream that created a temporary lake is now overflowing and could breach at any moment, risking another wave of catastrophic flooding.

Over 470 people are confirmed dead and nearly 1,500 are still missing across the border region. Rescuers and locals are being forced to evacuate to higher ground right now as heavy rain keeps falling. Peak water levels aren't expected until Sept 1st.

🚨 China's Ministry of Water Resources has issued an urgent alert warning that a newly formed barrier lake near the Nepal-Tibet border poses a high risk of breaching within 72 hours.

Formed at the confluence of the Chhochen Khola and Purepu Tsangpo rivers by yesterdays massive rock-and-mudslide, the overflowing lake already holds roughly 2 million cubic metres of water.

The lake faces an additional 3 million cubic metres of inflow from expected severe weather. A collapse would trigger a catastrophic downstream surge along the Bhote Koshi-Trishuli-Narayani river system.

This is an extremely rare and frightening video. The bursting of this very Jizhang Glacial Lake in Tibet caused severe flooding in Nepal.
Located in Nyalam County, the sudden breach of the moraine dam of the Jizhang Glacial Lake and the resulting catastrophic deluge were captured on camera.
China has built a highly advanced high-tech surveillance network along the Tibet border adjoining India and Nepal, as well as in high-altitude mountainous regions, equipped with remote sensing stations, automated drones, and more.
Sensors installed near the lake send real-time alerts to the control room and drone system as soon as the water level rises.
China's Tibet Autonomous Region Authorities and local scientific teams keep a continuous watch on these lakes. They regularly record water levels, cracks, and glacier melting conditions by flying automated drones or using cameras and drone stations installed near the lakes.
Chinese agencies and scientific researchers were already aware that this lake was in a high-risk and dangerous condition.
However, the real-time warning provided by China to Nepal was significantly delayed, resulting in massive destruction in the downstream areas.
Although disaster data-sharing agreements exist between the two countries, Nepalese officials stated that accurate information or water-level alerts were not sent immediately during the lake breach.
While the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) had previously issued warnings that the lake could burst at any time, there is a distinct difference between such "general warnings" and a "live early warning" issued 1–2 hours before a flood arrives—which Nepal failed to receive in time.
Due to the lack of advance notice, residents in the lower reaches of Nepal were left with no opportunity to evacuate to safer locations.

चीन का हेलीकॉप्टर उस जगह पहुंचा जहां ग्लेशियर टूटा था और उससे निकले पानी ने नेपाल में भारी तबाही मचाई थी। इस घटना को GLOF कहते हैं।

ग्लेशियल लेक आउटबर्स्ट फ्लड (#GLOF) तब आ सकता है, जब ग्लेशियर द्वारा रोकी गई झील का बांध अचानक टूट जाए। 🌊🧊

पानी के दबाव और ग्लेशियर में बनी दरारों से बाहर निकलने का रास्ता बन जाता है। इसके बाद झील में जमा भारी मात्रा में पानी और मलबा बेहद तेज़ रफ्तार से पहाड़ों से नीचे की ओर बहता है, जिससे अचानक और विनाशकारी बाढ़ आ सकती है।

Nepal’deki sel felaketinin nasıl meydana geldiğini gösteren bir simülasyon:

Himalayalar’da bir buzul kütlesinin koparak vadiye düşmesiyle buz, kaya ve toprak nehir yatağına sürüklendi. Oluşan devasa su ve moloz dalgası, kısa sürede nehir yatağı boyunca ilerleyerek önüne çıkan her şeyi sürükledi.

It was revealed that Dolly Parton was secretly battling cancer but she didn't say anything and instead released this song as one of her last to raise funds for children with cancer. Even while she was sick she was still thinking about others. I’m absolutely devastated.

DID YOU KNOW?

1. American milk is illegal in Europe. Too many chemicals.

2. US bread is considered cake in Europe. Too much sugar.

3. American eggs are illegal in UK. They wash off the natural protection.

4. US meat is banned in 160 countries. Because of hormones.

5. American apples are coated with wax that is also used for cars.

6. In the US, 60% of food contains stuff banned in other countries.

@RandyGoat I’d like to have Country Of Origin Labels back on beef so everyone can make their own informed choices.

In 2025, Trump bailed out Argentina with $20 billion dollars currency swap.

Now Trump is going to buy 300,000 metric tons of ground beef apparently from Argentina undercutting the American cattlemen.

Trump claims Argentina is dying and they need the help.

Actually it’s the American cattle industry that is suffering and dying with an average of 77 cattle producers going out of business every day.

Put Americans FIRST!!!

For those of you that haven't read it, Chapter 13 of Project 2025 was literally about creating food insecurity by cutting safety nets and slashing regulations and restrictions on food production.

No, we weren't overreacting to Project 2025.

[King Roy @RoyIsThaTruth]

Trump is allowing 300,000 metric tons of ground beef to be imported into America tariff free, and it’ll be sold cheaper than regular ground beef. He has refused to say which companies or countries would be providing the beef. I’m telling y’all right now, that shit ain’t from cows, DO NOT EAT IT!!
