live Nepal-Tibet floods live updates: Death toll reaches 392 as Australians remain among hundreds missing Search efforts continue as thousands are still missing following a devastating flash flood in Nepal and Tibet. Live updates New: Filters Choose what information you see below by using filters Key Event Focus turns to second possible flood The big concern going into today is the possibility of a second flood along the same river. Two barrier lakes have been formed as a result of Wednesday's disaster, one in Nepal and one in China. The worry, according to officials in both countries, is that either or both are expected to continue filling with water and then overflow, leading to a second debris flow down the same river, and through the same disaster-hit communities. Nepal's disaster authority issued a notice on Thursday warning that a lake formed by debris blocking a river at the flood site is rising and at risk of bursting. Meanwhile, China is warning that 3 million cubic metres of water are expected to flow into an already dammed lake on its side of the border within the next three days. There's also further rainfall forecast, according to Chinese state media, and this is what the lake looks like as of Thursday, according to Chinese state broadcaster Xinhua.
