Why do rivers leap from their banks? Scientists strive to predict deadly flooding events

Rumors that the Kosi River was about to burst were spreading fast in Kusaha, a Nepalese village on the border with India. The river s levees, towering over the village, were being eroded quickly by the cresting waters. At 2 p.m. on 18 August 2008, the east bank ruptured. People ran for their lives as the breach grew. Soon, the entire river, one of the largest tributaries of the Ganges River, had overrun Kusaha and was spilling into India, drowning farm after farm in search of a faster path to the sea.

The world’s largest iceberg is closing in on a South Atlantic island and has the potential to cause major damage to wildlife if it becomes grounded near the island.
The “A68a” iceberg which NASA estimates to be roughly the size of Delaware broke off from the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica in 2017. Currently, it is making its way through the Southern Antarctic Front towards the island of South Georgia, according to the Government of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
We are keeping a close eye on the A68a iceberg as it drifts through #SouthGeorgia waters. These shots taken from a @RoyalAirForce A400M aircraft provide a unique view. It was so huge it was impossible to capture its entirety in a single shot! #SGSSIdiscoverpic.twitter.com/nX8ToUfQP9 Government SGSSI (@GovSGSSI) December 5, 2020
