    This is a serious calamity. Cloud bursts often occur in hilly places. Such calamities are unavoidable. The govt. is taking measures to provide relief to affected people.

    This is a very terrible incident indeed. situated at 13500 feet above sea level, the rescue efforts are greatly hampered by the touch climatic and geographical conditions.

    Chetana, a request, could you edit the title of this post from Kashmir to Leh. Though close, the geographically correct location to write would be Leh and not Kashmir!

    Before a cloud burst, +ve and-charges of water molecules accumulate on the oppositte sides which creates an electric field of very high potential difference and causes dielectric breakdown.
