Floods in the Himalayas: A Disaster Foretold? The recent floods and mudslides in Nepal and Tibet have left hundreds dead or missing, with reports suggesting that the death toll could reach over 500.
The disaster has been attributed to a glacial collapse, which sent a torrent of debris down valleys and mountain passes, devastating villages and communities along the way.
Among the victims are at least 65 Americans, according to reports from the Nepal Tourism Board.
