Glacial lake bursts in India leaving 100 missing and 19 dead

More than 100 people are missing in India’s northeast after heavy rain caused a glacial lake to burst, leading to flash floods which ripped through the Himalayan state of Sikkim Wednesday, killing at least 19 and washing away roads and bridges, according to the state government. A “sudden cloudburst” over Lhonak Lake, in the northern part of the state, sent fast-moving torrents of water surging down the Teesta River in Sikkim’s Lachen valley, raising water levels 15-20 feet higher than normal, the Indian Army said in a statement. A cloudburst is a very sudden and destructive rainstorm https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/05/india/india-sikkim-floods-search-damage-climate-intl-hnk/index.html

          Th is a tragedy, but it is also an opportunity for the country to learn from its mistakes and to take steps to protect its citizens from future disasters.
