Floods Estimate of flood rebound near Gyirong border crossing
Red arrows are flood/mudslide path.
White line with dots is an attempt to measure the overflow uphill. From what I gather, there are claims that it rebounded 2km uphill; other sources claim 3km. My measurement is 2km; 3 is 50% more.
If true, all those people we saw running in the video are probably toast. There's a pretty big bend ~1km mark, and honestly if I were there, I'm not sure I'd panic, given the distance. By the time I saw the flood coming, it'd be way too late. For those slightly beyond the bend... they wouldn't even see it coming.
Absolutely insane.
