Tibet’s “Worst Storm”
Even though Tibet is right near Mount Everest, this storm that hit them was unexpected, to say the least. They are used to receiving cold spells and some snow but not the amount this storm provided them. “Some places saw 36 hours of continuous snowfall and dropped five to six feet,” Jennifer Corter for Phactual wrote. “Seven people died, buildings were destroyed, roads weren’t cleared for a week, and many yaks died because the locals need food or just were wiped out by the storm.” Many even had to eat some of their own pets.
