A glacier collapse in the Himalayas triggered catastrophic flash floods along the Nepal-China border, killing nearly 600 people and leaving roughly 2,500 missing, including about 90 Americans, as rescuers struggle to reach survivors buried under walls of mud and debris.

The gap between the two Nepali figures remained unexplained, but the scale of the disaster was not in dispute: nearly 2,500 people were unaccounted for across both countries, and more than 100 remained trapped inside a hydropower tunnel in Nepal's hardest-hit Rasuwa district. The disaster began…Open

The Old Farmer's Almanac is calling for a mostly mild winter across much of the United States, but a strengthening El Niño and an unpredictable polar vortex could still deliver nasty surprises.

His core complaint: the entire system is rigged to benefit the people already at the top, while ordinary Americans get sorted into partisan teams that serve no one's…Open
