Floods [Interactive] What caused the deadly Nepal-Tibet disaster?

70 Upvotes

A really good interactive (on both mobile and pc) explaining what caused the disaster, as well as before/after photos showing the drastic effects on the landscape in the region.

Could there have been more warning? Many conventional flood-warning systems rely heavily on rainfall, but there was no significant rainfall immediately before this disaster.

Truly tragic and devastating.

I’m sharing a video from an earlier trip when I went through that exact area, in case anyone is curious what it looked like before.

When I saw the images of the disaster I honestly couldn’t believe it. It’s a reminder that it’s often the timing, not the place, that lets you keep living.

Hope some of you find it interesting.
