I have just been watching frightening flooding currently happening in Nepal. Bridges washed away and buildings destroyed. Many tourists, including British and Australian missing. Pray for these people if you are a believe ,it is really bad.

And in a country poorly equipped to deal with disasters.

Good grief it was so rapid and destructive, I still feel shaken watching the cctv footage. Poor Nepal and poor loved ones now seeking their missing relatives and friends and fearing the worst.

It’s truly awful, so much mud as well as water, people didn’t stand a chance.
There will need to be worldwide help sent to them.

How be utterly awful.

Hope as many people as possible can be rescued and homes salvaged.

🙏🤞

Yes she’s not there now Oreo
The speed, the strength, and not a well off country, but such nice people.
A dreadful tragedy
