Fatal Cloudburst Wipes Out Town

Desdemona has this article, where a “fatal cloudburst” wiped out the town of Leh in Ladakh, India ““ normally one of the driest regions on Earth.

Very dry normally, with only a miserly 15 millimeters of rain per year, a cloudburst hit Leh, causing flash floods and mudslides, washing away houses and killing over 150 people with hundreds more missing.

Wow!
