Landslides
"The causes of landslides are not a mystery to mankind. Layers of rock and soil such that rain running along a clay or rock layer can create a slippery surface for the weight of the layers above it is a common cause. A rock jumble from previous mountain building, broken or fractured rock easily dislodged. We have stated that the earthquakes man experiences between the periodic passages of Planet X can be considered aftershocks from the last passage, and this is true of landslides also. Mountain building rumples the landscape, so the land is not flat but has steep ravines and hill sides. Older mountain ranges are recognized for their rounded or smoothed appearance, because of frequent landslides distributing the rubble.
"As we approach another passage, another Pole Shift, the pace of landslides has picked up. Why would this be? Plates under pressure will put pressure on regions that contain rumpled hillsides and deep ravines, as these give more readily than strictly flat land, thus act as a weak link. In addition, due to the wobble, the weather has gotten more extreme, with drought and deluge increasing in extremes. Dry ground, suddenly flooded with rainwater needing to seek its level as runoff, will create internal water slides between the rock and soil layers that constitute the rumpled hillsides. Is there an early warning system that mankind could use? The trembles that soil about to slide emits could be detected, yes. These are not earthquakes, and have their own frequency. "

Massive landslide closes highway on West Coast, days after it reopened
A massive landslide has closed a highway near Greymouth on the West Coast, days after it reopened.
The 2.5 metre landslide happened overnight on State Highway 7 (SH7), at Omoto, east of Greymouth.
A historically active slip between Greymouth and Stillwater at Omoto, which moved after weeks of wet weather in mid-August, moved another 30 centimetres early in October.
As a result, the section of SH7, the main road linking Reefton and Greymouth, was closed. It reopened to a single lane on Tuesday.
The highway was closed at 5pm on Friday and would be closed until at least Tuesday, New Zealand Transport Agency West Coast maintenance manager Moira Whinham said.
It would be re-assessed at 10am on Tuesday.
A short detour was in place across the Grey River, via Taylorville. The detour had turnoffs at Stillwater and Cobden bridges on the north side of the Grey River.
Continuous heavy rain and high river levels contributed to the slip. Rain on Friday and Saturday morning saw the slip accelerate and drop by more than 2 metres overnight.
Drivers were asked to take it slow, particularly through Taylorville.

Norway mountain finally crumbles, no injuries or damage
September 6 2019
COPENHAGEN (AP) - The 50m-tall summit of southern Norway's Veslemannen mountain has crumbled and triggered a long-anticipated landslide that caused no injuries or damage.
Lars Harald Blikra of Norway's Water Resources and Energy Directorate told Norwegian broadcaster NRK "it's fantastic to know that the landslide is finally over", saying they had been waiting for it "for so many years".
Heavy rain caused late Thursday's (Sept 5) landslides in the Mannen mountain range. Rockslide risks there have been reported since 2014, leading the authorities to issue alerts for the area.
On Aug 30, it was again raised to its highest and, as a precaution, a nearby train line was closed and 11 people were evacuated for the 16th time.
The scale of the landslide was not immediately known.

At least 34 people were killed and scores feared missing after a landslide triggered by monsoon rains struck a village in eastern Myanmar on Friday, AFP reported. “We found 34 dead, and the search for dead bodies is still ongoing,” said local administrator Myo Min Tun.
A deluge of mud descended on Thae Pyar Kone village in Mon state on Friday (Aug. 9) , and washed out 16 homes and a monastery. Search and rescue teams worked through the night to find survivors and recover bodies from the sludge.
Officials believe that more than 80 people could still be missing.
Torrential rainfall burst riverbanks across the country and coastal communities have been warned of higher tides. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, around 89,000 people have been displaced by floods in recent weeks, although many have since been able to return home.
Residents waded out through waist-deep waters in eastern Bago region after the Sittaung river overflowed, and led to collapse of their homes.

VIDEO. Neuquén: impressive landslide in Villa La Angostura left the city isolated
ARGENTINA
JULY 23, 2019 - 18:46The circulation on National Route 40 was closed due to the great fall of a hill on the side of the road. One person managed to capture the amazing event on video.
Villa La Angostura is going through one of the most critical moments in its history, since the lack of light and water now added isolation due to a landslide on km 2094 of Route 40, leaving the road to that locality impassable.
The impressive collapse of one of the hills next to the route was videotaped and viralized in moments. From this morning National Road works in place to remove the debris and enable the passage to the Seven Lakes Road, but they reported that the cut will be until further notice due to the magnitude of the event.

Mudslide threatens condos, forces some residents to evacuate in Harrison
Posted: 6:07 AM, Jun 16, 2019HARRISON, Ohio — A mudslide forced residents to evacuate from their hilltop condos after heavy rains this weekend continued to erode part of the hillside behind them.
About 30 residents of the Legacy by Fisher Homes neighborhood near Heritage Square were forced out after 2:30 a.m. Sunday after the Harrison Fire Department evacuated the condos nearest to the mudslide.
"The neighbors next to us, it's at their patio," said Deanna Frey, a resident who was evacuated early Sunday morning. "So any more rain, it might go.
"They allowed us to come back to get our belongings, and now there's a condemned sign on our door," said Frey.
On Monday, remaining residents were told power was going to be shut off at noon, but it was still on at 12:30 p.m.
The condos are on top of a hill, and emergency units on scene said the ground they were built on is eroding. To make matters worse, utility lines were exposed.
Emergency units said they will stay on scene in case there is further erosion. They also have to wait for an engineer to assess the damage to the exposed utility lines.
Neighbors said there have been issues with mudslides since December, but heavy, continuous rains Saturday night caused it to get much worse.
"We have and continue to offer our expertise and service to aid the Condominium Association in their analysis of the situation and long-term solution," Fischer Homes said, in a written statement Sunday evening. "We remain concerned for those homeowners who were evacuated as a result of the heavy storms and subsequent erosion. Fischer Homes has built more than 24,000 homes over the past 39 years with our customers' best interests always at the forefront. We remain in contact with the Condominium Association to help guide them through the ultimate resolution."
