The floods, which killed nearly 1,000 and left 3,900 missing, weren’t just nature gone wild. They were triggered by a melting ice-rock avalanche moving at 190 km/h; faster than most cars on the highway. What’s scary? These events are becoming common, not rare. And they’re not just Nepal’s problem; India’s Himalayan states like Uttarakhand face the same risks. If the Himalayas are warming twice as fast as the global average, what does that mean for millions of people living downstream? This isn’t just about rescue ops. It’s about preparing for a future where disasters come faster, bigger, and more often. And right now, we’re not ready.
