Wow! That one hell of a pov. . I want to say that was cool visually, but I feel bad for anything that was there at that level

What the fuck sounds similar in any language.

Started in portrait and got good angles of the valley then switched to landscape to get the full effect of the flood. Just needs a little edit in the middle.

I live about 5km from a dam that hold about 1.5 cubic kilometers of water behind it. This freaks me out.

BuffaloJEREMY

Is this caused from glacial ice dams breaking/melting and letting a bunch of water go all at once? I remember watching a documentary about the Washington scablands. The scale of those floods blew my mind. It's possible there were humans that witnessed those floods too. If you get a chance read up or watch some videos on the scablands. Pretty crazy stuff.

They're screaming because their 'company' (prob a small business) was down in that valley. In the beginning they're talking about how they're trying to call the people in their company. There's a moment where it destroys a small structure and he's really upset. they're screaming and whistling at the people down there to get away.

We can see the dam on the center pixel. Well done.

For all the people blaming dam , the damn was still getting built and it's not because of dam, it's a natural phenomenon, this area is more sensitive now because heavy rain caused a huge flood 7 years ago and made glaciers a little unstable , dams in this area are important to provide electricity for the place and control flash floods like this, government was taking all necessary precautions while building the dam , don't jump on conclusions , it's just a natural disasters not man made.

Let me tell you the CRAZIEST story folks. I hope that you're sitting while you read this. 

People fear that this incident could be related to the plutonium capsules that were lost in uttarakhand about 56 years ago during a joint operation by CIA and India to install a nuclear powered device atop Nanda devi to spy on china (India's 2nd highest peak).

Apparently during the expedition by the Indian army and CIA while they were headed up to install a device, there was a blizzard and the team decided to leave the device there and thought they'd come back later to retrieve it. When the came back, it was gone, of course. 

I'm not even making this shit up.

The first thing this reminded me of was Indiana Jones screaming water in Temple of Doom when the water was rushing towards them. 

The second thing that came to my mind was that I would not be standing on the edge of a shaking cliff as water vibrates the entire ground around me.

Guys, please avoid travelling to the mountains during the rainy seasons. Cloud bursts are happening in almost every district and constituency each year. It's not safe and not worth taking this much risk. Stay updated, stay safe, follow the guidelines from the local authorities(check FB pages of DC, SDM, or other officials for updates).

Himachal Monsoon: हिमाचल प्रदेश में बारिश का ऑरेंज अलर्ट, इन जिलों के लिए चेतावनी

There have been incidents of cloudburst and flash floods at many places in Kullu district. Cloudburst has been confirmed at Jiva Nala (Sainj), Shilagarh (Garhsa) valley, Stro Gallery (Manali) and Horangarh (Banjar) area. In Sainj valley, Majhan Nala, which is around one km below the Jiva Trench Weir, experienced a cloudburst

Udaipur is more pleasant and safe in monsoon

BenevolentM40

Himachal is dreamy in this season but the connectivity is messed up. Bad Roads, Landslides, Corrupt Cops, and Rude drivers.

Curious-Monitor-6951

comparing between udaipur and himachal 
in monsoon -
Himachal is way too much risky to go and trust me you are not ready to take any risk in 2025
Risk in himachal-

Frequent landslides, roadblocks, and floods Poor visibility and slippery roads on hills
Cloudbursts in areas like Kullu, Manali, Shimla, and Mandi
Transport: Flights often get delayed; road travel is risky

meanwhile udaipur is a  literal kashmir of rajasthan in monsoon-
Light to moderate rainfall
City becomes greener and more beautiful
Minimal chances of flooding or travel disruptions
Transport: Roads are well-connected and safe
Tourist Vibe: Romantic, especially around lakes like Pichola and Fateh Sagar


ofc no hate to himachal just a little risky

Brief-Distance8929

Don't go to himachal or Uttarakhand before 28th August.

virgin97milf

Udaipur is better than himachal pradesh in the June end/early July period as Himachal becomes unpredictable in rains with the landslides etc

Open google maps and check for nearby places which have  contact number and ask them to help you 

People are helpful there

wewillkillyou

Wait for a couple of days. Someone else also posted on this subreddit about not being able to contact their relative who had checked in Zostel Shangarh. 

The mobile towers and electricity are down, and there is heavy rain predicted for the next 12 more hours or so. 


I believe after that the work to restore connectivity and electricity might resume. 

So unfortunately not much to do for the next ~24 hours at least.

detrapdoor

Severe weather conditions, including cloudbursts and heavy rainfall, have resulted in flash floods across Himachal Pradesh, leading to at least two fatalities and approximately 20 individuals reported missing.
