Forces of Nature: Video of Destructive Rockslide

Posted on January 31, 2016 by Erich Styger

Overnight it was raining a lot in the central part of Switzerland. Additionally it is warming up so it adds water with all the snow melting in the higher areas. As a result, a dangerous rock- and mudslide went down today nearby in Moutathal, damaging bridges and power lines. A video records the destructive power of nature:

Great video. I hope in this wake of destruction there were no injuries, except the trees.

  After two days most of the things have been cleaned up. Tons of luck that most of the stuff was kept inside the creek bed.
