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. "

Comment by Juan F Martinez yesterday: Antalya, Türkiye — Kumluca-Kemer highway in Antalya was closed to traffic due to landslide.

Dents and landslides occurred on the highway connecting Kemer and Kumluca districts.

Due to the approximately 10-meter pit on the road, transportation in the region is provided from a single lane.

CHENGDU, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- Continuous rainfall-induced infiltration that softened mudstone on a high-steep slope caused a landslide in southwest China's Sichuan Province, and no direct link has been found between mining activities and the disaster, according to an investigation report released on Saturday.

The report, published by the provincial department of natural resources, identified the disaster in Jinping Village of Junlian County, under the city of Yibin, as a compound natural disaster involving a sudden high-position landslide that evolved into a long-distance debris flow.

The landslide occurred at 11:50 a.m. on Feb. 8, 2025, leaving 10 people dead, 19 missing and two injured, with direct economic losses exceeding 6 million yuan (about 862,193 U.S. dollars).

Comment by Juan F Martinez on February 3, 2026 at 4:16pm: Torcross, UK

Part of the A379 coast road near Torcross in Devon has collapsed after sea defences were damaged during last month’s storms.

Residents woke up on Tuesday 3rd February to find a section of the road had washed away.

Posting on social media, the owners of The Start Bay Inn at Torcross said: “It’s a mess, like a bomb has gone off.⁣ The road to the pub on the Leyside is filled with debris and not drivable.”

Councillor Laurel Lawford said the damage was “really, really bad”.

“I’ve spoken to someone who has sent their drone over and they estimate there is approx 300 metres of damage. It’s very bad, and the drop down to the beach from the destroyed road is about 15 feet deep, I would guess…”

More than 200 killed after landslide hits miners extracting key smartphone mineral

Heavy rain in the Democratic Republic of Congo leads to the collapse of mines used to extract coltan - used in phones, computers and aircraft engines.

Saturday 31 January 2026 10:35, UK

Many bodies are still buried under the mud following the tragedy near Rubaya, in the east of the country, earlier this week.

The mines are under the control of rebel group M23. Lumumba Kambere Muyisa, a spokesperson of the rebel-appointed governor of North-Kivu province, said the landslide was caused by heavy rain.

"More than 200 people were victims of this landslide, including miners, children and market women," he said. "Some people were rescued just in time and have serious injuries," he said.

Survivors were taken to nearby health facilities or the nearest city of Goma - around 30 miles away.

A former miner at the site spoke of the dangers of repeated landslides because tunnels had been dug by hand, poorly constructed, and left without maintenance.

"People dig everywhere, without control or safety measures," Clovis Mafare said. "In a single pit, there can be as many as 500 miners, and because the tunnels run parallel, one collapse can affect many pits at once."

Sky News found children as young as four working in the unregulated mines in the DRC.

The country has been hit by violence between government forces and different armed groups, including the Rwanda-backed M23, for decades.

In May 2024, M23 seized Rubaya and took control of its mines.

Comment by Juan F Martinez on January 28, 2026 at 2:54pm: Landslides sweep through a city on Italy's Sicilian island, where a massive landslide has caused entire residential neighborhoods to collapse from the slopes.

The landslide, triggered by heavy rains, extended up to 4 kilometers and is still expanding.

Thousands of residents have been evacuated from the threatened areas.

Comment by Juan F Martinez on January 26, 2026 at 3:26am: Niscemi, Italy

About 500 residents were evacuated after a landslide tore through part of the Italian town of Niscemi, damaging a key access road and raising fears the area could be cut off, according to officials.

The landslide was reported Sunday in the Sante Croci neighborhood of Niscemi, a town in Sicily, Italy’s largest island.

Authorities said the slope failure occurred near the Benefizio stream and affected a section of Provincial Road SP10, one of the main links between the area and the town center. The ground collapse was estimated at about 20 feet (6 meters).

Authorities said geological surveys were underway to determine whether the current landslide is connected to a separate slope failure reported on January 16 in another nearby area that also damaged a provincial road.

Washington Weather Chasers

WOAH!! Good thing a car wasn’t driving by at that exact moment! This photo was just posted by WSDOT East. They say, “Last night a rockslide closed a lane of SR 155 south of Steamboat Rock State Park. One of the rocks is large enough it will require blasting to break it up before it's cleared. Plan for auto-flagger controlled traffic and delays until clean up and repairs are complete.”

That rock left crater on the highway! I wouldn’t be surprised if this rockslide occurred due to water expanding within cracks in the cliffs when freezing above the road.
