APOCALYPTIC SCENE OUT OF NEPAL HUNDREDS MISSING, INCLUDING AMERICANS 2026-08-26 10:54:14 星期三 THIS IS NOT A HORROR MOVIE. IT'S A SCENE FROM NEPAL AND TIBET. I'VE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS. DEVASTATING FLOODS HAVE LEFT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE MISSING, INCLUDING SEVERAL AMERICANS, ON THE BORDER OF NEPAL AND TIBET. WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE IS AN APOCALYPSE. FLASH FLOODING TAKES OVER WHAT IS A BORDER CROSSING. HAPPEN. YOU SEE PEOPLE LITERALLY RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU SEE OUT OF 2012, OUT OF A MOVIE WHERE THE WORLD IS ENDING. THAT IS ALL WATER RUSHING. WATER TAKING OVER THIS BORDER CROSSING. A RIVER OVERFLOWED, AND HERE WE ARE. MY PRAYERS GO ON THE BORDER CROSSING IN THE PALINTUBE. AND YOU SEE THE RUSHING WATER. IT JUST CONTINUES AND CONTINUES. AND CONTINUES AND CONTINUES. IT'S ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AT LEAST THREE ACCORDING TO N BC NEWS. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. AT LEAST NOT IN REAL LIFE. CRAZY.
