More tragedy in Nepal

Seeing reports this morning that 12 people have died during an early season storm in Nepal. Five climbers were caught and killed in an avalanche in Phu, 3 villagers were killed in a nearby region by a slide. Another slide tore through the base camp for Mount Dhaulagiri and five people are still missing (2 climbers, 3 guides). To add to the tragedy, four climbers were caught out in the storm on a high pass while circumnavigating Mount Annapurna and succumbed to the blizzard.

One can only imagine what it would be like for a dying Category 4 hurricane's worth of water to hit our Cascades in winter, which is what happened in this case.

We're not used to seeing hurricanes get completely shredded by mountain ranges...
