Landslide

[kilofoxtrott]

After the very long period of snow and rain we had a landslide in the neighbor village.
Thanks God noone was hurt or missed.

(1) First thing I noted was the weird angle of the trees...

Nice shots. Hopefully no homes were damaged. But it begs the question....are the homes in danger of future landslides?

 

[Phil K]

It's scary. Those houses are so close.

 

[Mike Buckley]

YIKES!

Nicely documented, Klaus.

This morning's newspaper carried a report of a landslide closing a portion of a major highway (U.S. 460) about 30 miles west of here.

These can be very dangerous situations. A reminder that we're not as much in control as we think.

The Rest and Be Thankful stretch of road in Scotland has just been closed again for the same reason. It's beginning to feel as if that road is closed more often than it's open.

Wow... I am glad no one was hurt or injured!

I've seen that on highway cuts, but that is 45 degrees or steeper.
Your pic is not a very steep slope. It must have really gotten saturated.

Stay safe Klaus. Any danger of more slippage?

 

[kilofoxtrott]

Well, there is no danger in our village.
A barn is gone and the three houses near the white tarpaulin are endangered. Noone may enter them.

Geological said: We're living on a layer of 4000m of rubble and clay. The African continent is moving northward, creating the Alps. The European continent is vanishing downwards, leaving a trench that is filled with rubbles.

Kind regards
