The heavy toll in landslides and floods during this year’s rainy season in Nepal have overshadowed another frequent disaster: lightning.  

This week’s incessant rains left 12 more people killed and nine are still missing in landslides, taking the total this monsoon season to 350 — the deadliest in the past decade.
