What caused the massive floods in Nepal? Early reports claimed a 4.4-magnitude earthquake caused the flash floods, but scientists are now saying that the seismic impact was actually from a massive glacier chunk that had collapsed, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The glacial lake outburst triggered catastrophic flooding in Nepal and Tibet, claiming at least 165 lives and leaving thousands missing. #nepalnews #nepal
