I have seen lots of videos of this. I wish someone would show where this starts and explain why there are so many big boulders every time. and than show where this goes through town and where it ends. amazing for sure. stay safe.
Never thought I'd one day spend 20 minutes looking at mud and want more. It's mesmerizing in it's own terrifying way, can't pull your eyes away from it! What a truly awesome force of nature
@@viperus1234 I'd like to see the confluence of that. Ingenious v-bottom self clears like a sewer. What a spectacular landscape you live in, thanks for sharing. You got too close for comfort!
That's outrageous footage. Looks like wet concrete with the biggest aggregate ever. One thing about being in front of that flow, you never know how far, fast, and high it could get. You DO have some historical high watermarks with the banks. I think you'd be darn near dead if you fell into that, you'd be beaten to crap with those rocks, fast.
Practically a concrete flow. So thick with mud and rocks. Never seen a flow this large before. I imagine that if an animal was caught in that, then this may be one way a fossil begins.
@@georgecable5261At the bottom of the chute it drains into the Rhône river and flows down to Lac Lemon between Montreux and Geneva Switzerland, which must be a terrifically deep glacial lake carved in the last 20,000 years during the last peak glacial period, because it has not yet filled up with all of this debris.
Wouldn’t that technically just be rain falling on the mountains? After all, it’s got to collect and start flowing first. It would be relaxing to listen to, though
You should never underestimate the power of nature, especially floodwaters, i mean do you actually know what is being carried along under all that murk with all that power?
"Flood Fronts" in Australia would have thousands of dead trees, and ground litter at the front of any wave. Millions of tonnes would appear 10 metres high before you say any water. Gum trees lose their lower branches as they grow. That is why you see them all around the world. Firewood + Whole tree to mill.
Looking at this, I was just thinking, I used to be a hobby prospector, and sometimes used a small dredge in the river, but was blocked from doing that anymore because i might make the water cloudy, I though that was a little strange considering what mother mature does with things like this. LOL
@@thetruthstrangerthanfictio954 everybody knows... and there are sirens, signs and emergency dep. will warn you per sms text. But they can be a lot larger... I mean huge huge ;) landslide.. and it only happen when it rains ..
They're watching the upstream spillway from under the roadway bridge. Suddenly Godzilla mud monster appears over the upstream spillway and they're thinking "Hey, why don't we climb further on up the bank here". Yikes
I was glad to see you step up the hill a little when that flow got closer. Such a good example of the logs, boulders and rocks are such a heavy part of the flow at the beginning. The sound is amazing. The power of water! Thank you for sharing this!
Impressive stuff right there! I think some kind of documentation about the source(s) of these flows as well as how rivers are not completely dammed up would be interesting. Cheers!
@@viperus1234 On the other hand, being up close and personal where huge rocks are peeling away might not be a terribly comfortable recording environment. :-)
The force of water is truly incredible, the size and weight of some of those rocks 😮 It just shows erosion in action and how over geological time scales whole mountains can wear away. Great vid, must have been awesome to be there 👍😎
that was amazing to the youtuber who filmed this if it's possible i would like to see the source of all that debree . and where did end up . how long did it continue after the camera shut off. is there the potential for more from the same spot . and why is there so much of this happening
The source is the mountains you see in the background. During the winter the rock cliffs gets water down in the cracks and fissures that will freeze and cause huge rock slides and boulders to fall into the valleys, then come the spring thaw and rain all that water is channeled down into the waterways and build up speed and force as it descends. Looking at the foliage it looks like this happened in mid to late summer, so there wasn't as many rocks and boulders washed out in this one. The first ones in spring would sweep out all the debris that built up over the winter months, there would be way more rocks swept up in it, there weren't all that many boulders in this one.
big T-storm dump the water in the mountain, more rain than 5mm and the flush comes :) bawush canyon is here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illhorn switzerland, europe :)
What are the parameters that determine the periodicity of the flow surges? How do total flow volume, flow viscosity, particle size, % water to solids, clay percentage, etc govern the time between surge peaks?
That Debris have a lot of Power. I bet that you feel the rumble under your Feet. Thank you for Uploading. Where was this Event? When Rocks of this Size jumps you know there is much Energy behind.
Didn't felt my feet :) full of adrenalin :) but it is loud like a train rushing by - this is in switzerland - illgraben: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illgraben
If you were a troll and you wanted to cause damage, you could throw some sacks of cement powder into this mass. The creek bed would be freshly concreted :-)
That actually happens naturally in some places, when the solid material contains enough of the right materials like tuff or ash that act as cement. Judging from the look of the levees, I think there might be some of that happening here.
cant realy doing something about it, but, it comes on shore a little bit further down the stream - we are far away from the ocean... in this video you see the amount of soil transported, the hole city stands on it ... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pBCHRJOD0aM.html
Looks like a miniature Lahar imagine an order of magnitude x1000 as mount Rainer will eventually erupt and the entire snow cap will instantly melt setting the largest mudflow in modern history into Seattle Tacoma and mostly all of perimeter of the mountain encompassing 1/3 of Puget sound water shed ? Edit on the brute side I guess if global warming continues than maybe the snow cap will be minimal 😳
