Nepal tunnel survivor recounts being trapped for 9 days

Sanjay Sah returned to his village in Tilathi Koiladi, Nepal, after nine days of being trapped in a debris-filled hydropower tunnel. He says he held on to his willpower — surviving mud, sludge and a leg injury from broken glass in pitch darkness. #News #Reuters #Newsfeed #Nepal #GlacierCollapse #NepalFloods #SanjaySah #TunnelRescue #Survivor #HimalayanDisaster #HydropowerStation #NaturalDisaster #WorldNews…

My colleagues and I finished assessing damages from the January 2024 Winter Ice and Wind #storms... Wow. Some municipalities saw 3-4" of ice accumulation over a few days and near total loss of their urban tree canopies. If you've been to western #Oregon You know there's a ton of trees :(

~60% of assessed damages were from public utility providers' electrical distribution systems. I'm envisioning a future of buried lines.

What a week!
