From Akhtar Soomro
Dalori Bala, Pakistan (Reuters) residents in a hill village in northwestern Pakistan described how raging water and rocks had swept through their houses after a cloud burst, as the authorities had increased from floods in the region on Tuesday to 365.
Flood floods that were triggered by cloud burders in the mountain north vest have brought destruction in the worst magic of this year’s monsoon since Friday, with officials warning of further storms of us.
In the village of Dalori Bala near Gadoon Mountains, the number of fatalities rose to 30 after the rescue workers had recovered more corpses from the ruins on Tuesday, one day after a cloud burst, said the local district commissioner Nisar Khan.
Missing at least nine other people, he said.
Inhabitants of the village with around 100 concrete houses in the mountains of the Swabi district said that a current of stones had come to the houses, which led to the walls and roofs collapsed when they prepared for work on Monday morning.
It started with a “terrible”, thundering noise at 8 a.m., said Zeeshan Ali, a 20-year-old student. “Everything suddenly removed in seconds,” he said.
His buffalo and other objects, including electric goods, were washed away, even though his family could escape.
“We need support,” said another resident, 45-year-old Bakht Zaman.
Buner in the north received more than 150 mm rain in the north within an hour, which was triggered by a cloud burst and killed over 200 people – the destructive event in this monsoon.

A cloud burst is a rare phenomenon in which more than 100 mm rain falls in a small area within an hour.
Corpses were still recovered in the northwest, whereby a unadorned number of people was missing, said Lieutenant General Inam Haider Malik, head of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).
More than 25,000 people were saved so far from flood heaters, and a total of 695 have been killed all over Pakistan all over Pakistan since the end of June.
The army and the Air Force have joined the rescue efforts.
In southern Pakistan, heavy rain flooded the main streets in the port city of Karachi and caused traffic and power failures on Tuesday, said a spokesman for the regional government.
TV film material showed cars that hovered in the flood in the floods in the houses in low-lying areas in the flood.
The authorities said that 145 mm rain had fallen in the city and that there could be more urban floods in Pakistan’s south, including Karachi.
