At least 50 people are known to have died and over 400 injured when a tornado ripped through Bara and Parsa districts in southern Nepal, at night on the 31 March'19. Hundreds of homes were swept away in the high winds and rain. Department of Hydrology and Meteorology say it is the first recorded tornado to hit Nepal and highlights Nepal’s vulnerability to natural disasters.
The Nepali Times reported that it proves Nepal has now to be prepared not just for the deadly calamities we know about like earthquakes, floods and landslides, but also rare ones like tornadoes.  The Director General of the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (DHM) Saraju K Vaidya admitted: “Yes, all signs in Bara point to it being a rare tornado, but with climate change these may become more frequent, and we have to prepared by upgrading forecasting and computer modelling capacity.”://www.nepalitimes.com/banner/disastrous-management-in-nepal/
