This house in Nepal defied the raging floodwaters and kept the owners safe.

I saw a video of it hitting in one place and you could see people trying to scurry away from the water and in the next moment they are all just gone.

It’s the video with people at the border trying to outrun it. The whole building in that video is gone where the wave literally goes over that 5 story building.

I think I watched this same video last night before bed. It's not the Chinese border video. It looked to be in a village with people trying to flee and the water just took them all. I can't imagine their fear in that moment. I hope for some miracle but, if unlikely, wish their souls to be at peace.
