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. "

Major Landslide Destroys 8 Homes In Northern NorwayEight houses were swept into the sea by the powerful landslide in northern Norway ANDERS BJORDAL/NVE
A powerful landslide of more than 2,000 feet in width has taken eight houses into the sea in northern Norway. The instability continued for several hours and one person was evacuated from a nearby property, but there have been no reports of injuries.
Incredibly powerful landslide caught on camera
The landslide of more than 2,000 feet wide and 500 feet high occurred on the western side of Kråkneset in Alta municipality on Wednesday afternoon. The police were notified of the incident at 3.45pm and a rescue operation was immediately launched by air and sea.
A local managed to capture some of the event on camera. The video, featured in Altaposten, shows the sheer power of the land movement. One local described how he heard a bang in the loft of his cabin and assumed someone was in the building. “I ran for my life,” he said, once the situation became clear.Rescue operation over
Although police were unable to enter the area by land due to ongoing instability, the rescue operation was called off at 7pm with everyone accounted for. Police are now verifying the information received to confirm that no-one is left in the area.Many of the buildings are holiday homes, which would have likely been fully occupied during the public holiday just 48 hours beforehand.
On-duty commander Sten-Rune Nikolaisen from the Main Rescue Centre reported to NRK that the Sea King helicopter returned to base just before 7pm. “They have searched visually and using camera equipment. No discoveries have been made,” said Nikolaisen.
Land remains highly unstable
According to local media reports, several smaller landslides occurred in the hours following the main incident. The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) is monitoring the situation, in particular the risk of more landslides.
NVE district engineer Anders Bjordal warned that there is likely to be ongoing movement for a couple of days.

Sheppey cliff collapseTwenty homes were forced to evacuate overnight after a cliff collapsed onto the beach below.
Kent Fire and Rescue Service arrived to a "significant cliff collapse" at Eastchurch on the Isle of Sheppey just before 10pm on Friday.
Residents of Surf Crescent said they heard “groaning” before a “great big lump” of the road disappeared from sight.
According to a local resident, the authorities were first warned in 2015 that action was needed to prevent further coastal erosion.
"This should have been dealt with a long time ago," Malcolm Newell said. "It's not right to have people's home, their livelihoods, falling into the sea."

A landslide in Saratoga County, New York, left several residents displaced Sunday afternoon.
The landslide in Waterford, N.Y., left a house teetering on the edge of a cliff on May 3, 2020.
Photos of the slide in the town of Waterford, 12 miles north of Albany, show a massive crater that swallowed trees and left houses hanging precariously on the edge.
Part of a driveway on Middletown Road collapsed down a ridge about 80 feet into a canal below.
First responders arrived and quickly started evacuating homes near the 150 feet of land that had broken away.
The Saratoga Office of Emergency Services said several homes had to be evacuated, and three homes were affected. Four houses are still evacuated. That’s 12 people who were displaced.

Mudslides knock out Ecuador crude pipelines
April 8 2020
Ecuador's two crude export pipelines were knocked out of service by mudslides.
The 450,000 b/d OCP heavy crude pipeline ruptured following the overflow of the Coca river, causing the suspension of operations yesterday at 6:30pm ET.
The 485km (301-mile) pipeline, controlled by foreign oil companies, runs from the Amazon oil district to the Pacific coast port of Balao in Esmeraldas.
In a separate incident at 8:15pm ET yesterday, a mudslide reduced pressure on state-owned PetroEcuador's 360,000 b/d Sote crude pipeline, prompting the company to suspend operations.
The 503km Sote pipeline also runs from the Amazon district to Esmeraldas.
The pipeline outages come amid a devastating local blow from the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly in the Pacific city of Guayaquil. The country has almost 4,000 declared cases and more than 200 deaths.

Landslide forces closure of SR 88 near Lake Roosevelt

There were no injuries reported. There is no estimated reopening time; however, this is expected to be an extended closure while crews remove earth and rocks.
In addition, an unpaved section of SR 88 remains closed indefinitely between the Fish Hill Creek overlook at milepost 229 and the Apache Lake Marina turnoff near milepost 222 due to extensive damage that occurred last year from flooding out of the Woodbury Fire burn scar. Heavy rains caused several landslides compromising the historic roadway.
