AXIOS (Herb Scribner) - Why Nepal's rare, deadly flood struck without warning
Thousands of people are missing and hundreds are dead after a flash flood in Nepal that struck with little warning earlier this week. Why it matters: The flood is exposing the gaps in warning systems that are designed to watch out for extreme rain and rivers — not for sudden collapses high in the mountains during good weather. - Glacier-driven floods under clear skies — sometimes called "blue-sky floods" — can happen in the U.S. too, especially in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, where sudden releases of glacial water can send floods and debris racing down mountain valleys. - This actually happened at Mount Rainier in Washington state in 2001, when debris flow from a glacier-related hazard caught people off guard during fair…

Nepal's disaster-management authority put the death toll at 579 by Friday, while Nepali police offered a lower count of 553. China reported seven dead on its side of the border.
