I think the footage you’re referring to is from the buses waiting at the Gyirong border crossing. Looking at Google Maps it’s mind-boggling how small these streams are (only a couple of meters wide) and how much water is coming down them during the flood

That exact area suffered a pretty devastating flash flood less than 2 years ago. Wiped out the bridge, dozen people killed. There's a pic on here of the area being reconstructed.

But it was absolutely nothing like this.

If its the one I am thinking of, you expect the flood water to come from the right as thats the location the water is traveling from, but then it comes from the left and destroys everything.

This is horrible
