The 2014 Cyclone Hudhud disaster
A quick deficiencies analysis
A huge and powerful cyclone equivalent to a category 3 (/4?) hurricane with an overall diameter of 2000km hit India and then predicably travelled inland and dumped huge quantities of rain and snow on the Himalaya, trashing the Annapurna area in particular. Around 50 people died directly as a result, around a third foreign trekkers and the rest local guides and porters and trekking crew. All this death was preventable but here is why Nepal failed.
