A lot are tourists. Rip.

Many more are missing likely to be counted towards the final toll.

The devastation is on the same scale as the 2011 or 2012 tsunami in Japan

Sounds bad.

most international tourists goes by India-Nepal border rather than Nepal-Tibet border. If not likely more fatality

this one is super scary. you see all the people running away. They already see the flood rushing towards them. Imagine you last few seconds of your life, you see a Tsunami like flood creeping behind your back while you try to out run it.

Even Michael Phelps wouldnt survive it.

Wrong words, flash flood makes it sounds so minor one wonder how it cause so many ppl missing - till you see the videos and you feel for the victims and it should not be called a flash flood
