Nepal/Tibet floods and mudslides

I've just seen some images of this and checked out Auntie....

Looks absolutely terrifying and my thoughts go out to all those affected by this. Hopefully the Chinese and Nepalese rescue services get to the areas affected without delay and assist those folks that need help.

Difficult to comprehend the scale and energy involved in these, the videos of some of it happening are nearly unbelievable.

Deathtoll has to be huge, not much you could do given the scale and speed.

The CCTV footage of it happening is apocalyptic.

Jeez those first two clips...

Totally First one looks like a model for film special effects.

[Hippea]

Gosh, that clip looks like something out of a disaster movie!

[jimmyjimjim]

Bloody hell.

Shows how tiny and insignificant we are when nature flexes itself.

A terrible human tragedy for thousands of the dead, injured and survivors. What a desperate situation for them.

There’s plenty to be said for the fluke of being born in a relatively benign area (like the UK).

Yep, we always like to complain about the weather, but in comparison to a lot of the world we don't really get "weather".

(I know talk is that this was possibly triggered by an earthquake, but my point still stands, we are pretty lucky when it comes to this sort of thing, we don't get hit on the same scale)

Multi-story buildings being washed away by a tide of rubble, it looks like nuke levels of destruction.

Mother nature shows her power.

Christ almighty

[dirty boy]

Had a nose on X.com and even in the videos i've seen, there's got to be more deaths than the official number. Harrowing stuff.

[swisstoni]

Unbelievable video. I wasn't prepared for that.

[Tom8]

Wow, terrifying! No chance to prepare for that happening!

[gotoPzero]

Even if you ran up a hill you were not surviving that. 44 tonne lorries thrown around like toys.

[gregs656]

The clips are horrifying.

[LM240]

Terrifying stuff with the speed and energy that swept through.

Death toll will be very high and numbers this early are irrelevant. Will take weeks to know numbers.

Some of the videos, you know everyone you’ve seen in them is now gone.

[g3org3y]

Devastating.

[Kitchski]

Nature really does not fk about, does it?
