Upd8s from Kathmandu

While i still have signal. No idea whats out in the press right now so sorry if this is repetitive. Srry 4 typos on phone.

US chopper was found no sign of survivors.

Several teams still being rescued from everest (we think).

this death toll much lower bc all collapsable bldgs already collapsed

Also, apparently all hell breaking loose in Burundi, but i dont know much about that.

honestly u probly kno more about the sit than i do. If somebody wants to do a quick comment on Burundi I would appreciate -- getting bugout texts from friends stationed there. I have prob half hour more of signal.

As for Burundi, there was an attempted military coup against the President (who was out of the country) ostensibly because he was making noises about staying in office even though he was termed out. He has since returned and the coup leaders involved have been arrested.
