Over 200 climbers have been stranded on Mount Everest after a sudden blizzard hit the region on October 7, 2025, creating life-threatening conditions at high altitudes. Reports indicate that strong winds, heavy snowfall, and whiteout conditions have forced mountaineers to halt their ascent and remain at base and intermediate camps. Nepalese authorities, including the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) and the Department of Tourism, have launched rescue operations involving helicopters and ground teams. However, the extreme weather has limited accessibility, delaying evacuations. Camp managers and Sherpa guides are providing temporary shelter and oxygen supplies to affected climbers. The incident underscores the risks of late-season Everest expeditions, where sudden weather changes can be deadly. Experts urge climbers to exercise extreme caution, respect weather advisories, and maintain communication with rescue teams. Meanwhile, international mountaineering communities are closely monitoring the situation, offering assistance and support. #MountEverest #ClimbersStranded #BlizzardAlert #NepalNews #Mountaineering #RescueOperations #EverestExpedition #HighAltitudeSafety #ExtremeWeather #AdventureSports

The storm dumped over 40 inches of rain in some areas, with a peak total of 44.29 inches recorded near Fannett, Texas, making it the seventh-wettest tropical cyclone in U.S. history. The heavy rainfall led to widespread flooding, particularly in Jefferson, Harris, and Orange counties. In Beaumont, over 38 inches of rain fell, inundating homes and prompting evacuations. Houston experienced significant bayou overflows, leading to more than 1,000 rescues and the closure of George Bush Intercontinental Airport for about 90 minutes. The storm resulted in five confirmed deaths, including drownings and electrocution incidents. . Governor Greg Abbott declared a state of disaster in 13 counties, and President Trump issued a major disaster declaration on October 4, 2019.
