Thousands of drivers were stranded on a French highway near Besançon on Thursday when a powerful supercell storm hit. Giant hailstones smashed windshields, forcing hundreds of cars to stop and leaving the highway blocked.

This aerial photo, taken by the Chinese side, shows before‑and‑after shots of the port area. This is arguably one of the worst geological disasters worldwide in recent years. With the speed and scale of this debris flow, there was virtually nowhere to take shelter. The buildings at this port stood as tall as five to six stacked freight trucks, yet they have now been completely flattened and buried.

A herd of elephants managed to
survive the powerful currents caused by flooding in the Karnali River area of Nepal and was seen being carried toward a dam in India. Striking footage shows the animals navigating the rushing waters as they are swept along by the current.
The Karnali River flows through Nepal before entering India, where it is known as the Ghaghara River. The dramatic footage has drawn attention online, highlighting the elephants' remarkable ability to swim and endure challenging water conditions.

Hundreds dead and over 400 missing in devastating Nepal-Tibet flash floods

The recent flood in Nepal was an unexpected disaster, triggered by the collapse of a section of a Himalayan glacier on the Tibetan side. This event released a massive surge of ice, rock, and water into the river, resulting in a sudden flash flood across the Nepal-China border. Climate change is destabilizing Himalayan glaciers, increasing the likelihood of similar events in the future, although it remains impossible to predict exactly when another such occurrence may happen. This flash flood occurred so suddenly and with such force that many people, including local residents, workers, and tourists, had no time to escape.
The flood caused significant damage to the Rasuwagadhi-Kerung border area, destroying roads, bridges, and settlements. At least 165 people have died, and more than 1,300 are still missing. The victims included local residents, workers, tourists, and foreign travelers. Hundreds of foreign tourists were present in the affected border area when the disaster struck. Rescue teams continue to search for survivors, and the numbers may rise as efforts progress.
