A massive flash flood struck the northern Rasuwa district of Nepal on Wednesday morning, August 26 at approximately 9:00 AM local time. The disaster unfolded when a sudden, violent surge of water rushed down the Bhote Koshi River from the Tibetan side of the border. At least 16 people have died in the flash flood that swept through two central Nepal districts bordering Tibet, causing extensive devastation at settlements along the river and damaging at least a dozen hydropower projects early Wednesday.
