A major winter storm hit Montana Oct 11 with up to 30 inches of snow, strong wind gusts, dangerous road conditions, and power outages. Several mountain passes and highways became hazardous, as heavy wet snow and falling temperatures created challenging travel conditions. Prepare for possible disruptions and avoid unnecessary travel during dangerous conditions.

[I have nine videos in queue about international extreme weather events, all caused by global warming/ climate change; instead of figuring out which one's more important, I'm just going to do them in the order they came up; it may take a few days and then there will be more in the queue and then there will be more and more…]

From transcript: 1:15 Wet snow is significantly heavier. And in October, the trees still carry their full leaf coverage, giving that snow a massive surface area to load onto. The result is more branches snapping under the load, more power lines coming down, and more widespread outages than a typical January storm would produce. The National Weather Service in Great Falls stated it plainly. The main risk here is wet snow weighing down power lines and trees leading to outages.
The snow is wet because it's full of water vapor from melted glaciers and polar ice caps; the warming is global. Today we are starting to live with the consequences. -keblogger

Disaster struck Nepal again Oct 11 as a torrent of mud, rocks and debris tore through villages in Nepal’s Himalayan foothills. Dozens of homes and several bridges were swept away and at least five people are reported to be missing.
45 houses were swept away, with the flood also damaging three hydropower projects and four bridges. Floodwaters also damaged the construction site and equipment of the under-construction 341-megawatt Budhi Gandaki hydropower project, along with electricity and telecommunications infrastructure.
The disaster comes as Nepal continues to grapple with the aftermath of deadly flooding in August, which killed more than 1,400 people and over 5000 missing. VIDEO: Nepal Hit Again by Devastating Flash Floods

Oct 13, 2026 report continues:
The flash flood struck the Budhi Gandaki River, a tributary of the Trishuli River in Gorkha district, around 100 kilometres west of Kathmandu. Preliminary assessments by Nepal’s disaster authorities and the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development suggest that a landslide blocked the river upstream, creating a temporary barrier that later gave way and unleashed a sudden surge downstream.
The precise cause is still being assessed.

Authorities issued mobile phone alerts and urged residents downstream, including those along the Trishuli and Narayani river systems, to move to safer areas.

Residents living along the Budhi Gandaki River in north-central Nepal were evacuated after a flash flood struck the region, damaging homes and other structures. Nepal's disaster management authorities moved villagers to safer areas and urged communities downstream to remain on alert as floodwaters surged through the river system. Emergency teams continue to monitor the situation closely. There were no immediate reports of casualties. Officials are investigating the cause of the sudden flooding, which affected the Budhi Gandaki River, a major waterway that later merges with the Trishuli River near Kathmandu.
