Illgraben 28 07 2020 - Lave torrentielle, Murgang, Debris flow 

It never ceases to amaze me that I’ll keep watching these, because even though they’re largely the same thing happening in different videos, enough stuff is different, and I’m still impressed that each storm can knock enough dirt and rock loose and carry it down the mountain. It always looks like wet cement to me, as well

love watching this...wave after wave of mud

Thank goodness everyone had time to walk out in front of that massive mudslide. It was horrible.

I’d love to know more about how those concrete retaining walls are engineered. I am amazed they don’t get torn apart by the flows.

Now this was quite fascinating - I’ve never seen one with a slow flow that kept stopping entirely! Thank you so much - your videos are always amazing!

It almost feels like it's a living, moving creature and not water and mud. Fascinating!

When I was a young lad we used to hike every week in dried up river beds with huge boulders like these in the video. Every year the path will be different because everything moves, even huge boulders. I never witnessed any flash floods or mud slides, only the aftermath, and always wondered how can water move a bus-sized huge rock like this - now I know. Thanks.

Thanks for posting, interesting to see a slower flow event xx

This reminds me of the last time I ate at Chipotle. Not fun!

So good! This helps me appreciate the character of mudflows. What really fascinates me with this one is the 'potential' which becomes suspended, and only needs another feeder-surge to cause it to move again. This looks to be a set-up for when enough rain or maybe slightest slide, would have no problem 're-activating' the mud which has been deposited on the sides. Watching for the next one perhaps to be 'formidable.' Thanks again.

The earth is like “can i have some privacy?”

Fascinating! I have never seen a slow "flash" flood. Educational and entertaining. 😀

Love the videos! They're kinda hypnotic and relaxing. Keep making videos. 😊

The debris moving slowly reminds me of some huge slug or amoeba, just oozing along, fitting into whatever space is ahead.

Interessant, dass das Geschiebe so in einzelnen Wellen kommt! Schönes Video!

V professional video, showing the top starting point as well moving snake , noise of stones moving , lo rd it was horefic

Cool, days later she arrived the Rhone😂😂

This thing makes the same sound that trains 🚂 had back in Brooklyn, NY when I was a kid in the early ‘60’s. I listen to them all night as they were going by. 🤓

Depuis la création des Alpes cela se produit chaque années et les montagnes sont aussi fière d,être la pour notre plaisir

Classic example of how they move in waves... (it may LOOK like it's done...) many of these rocks were in the 10 -15 Ton range (some even larger)

Wahnsinn, sieht aus als ob die Felsbrocken schwimmen....

How often do the flows happen? It's surprisingly fascinating to watch even when it's low and slow. I've learned more from you than anyone else about the debris flow especially the source. Thank you, Sir.

Does the canal ever need to be cleaned out? Like if there are slow flows like this one, a lot of debris looks like it gets left behind.

់ឪឥឲ🙂🙂🙂

Wish we could see where the feed is causing the mud slide to continue after on the opposite side.

There must be a doctoral thesis in there somewhere, measuring precipitation amounts, precipitation rates, speed of the flow, translational surging, maximum size of “particles” moved, frequency, duration and volume of individual surges, too much calculus for me. Should be some relational equations that come out of that that could be applied to planning for flood channel design that could be applied around the globe. Such a great laboratory tool to have a “tame” debris flow that you can drive up to and do regular measurements for research.

This reminds me of a 3 hours stretch the day after eating some bad lasagna.

Not so much juice in flow not as much as I've seen in the recent clips. At first but it sure catches up soon enough

I'm driving through Switzerland soon and will make a detour to see this, Can anyone give me a viewing location?

What is the purpose of making a barrier of cement (ٍstep)on the road to the flood.

Molto interessante!

the thing is::with the heigh intensity raib falin the mountains there nust have a piece for it to go.

الله اكبر

My ass does this stuff in the morning, especially after coffee

7 Septembre , je suis aux aguets , pour ta prochaine vidéo

Vidage annuel des fosses septique du village en amont ... Ok je sort.

This is the spillover from a Swiss Choc factory

سبحان الله العظيم.

A bit like me in the toilet last Saturday morning .

雨が降るたびにこんなことが起きるような所には 私、住めません。

Looks like a Coin Pusher with Concrete

What is the name of the place I am looking at

What is the trout fishing like in this river?

It makes me sleepy watching this.

I cannot understand how floods like this can occur in waves, or pulses. The original rainfall that's causing this has to have been steady, and could not have varied as much as the flood seems to indicate.

So when does the torrential bit start 🤨

If you have gold in your area start panning for gold after every flow is done moving.

When a mountain experiences concrete diarrhoea;).

Its like somebody is doing on purpose ... it stops and starts ... I never seen anything like this before ...

I can't believe how those rocks move.... Are they pumice??

Bonjour Ça fait juste 2 ans que j'ai decouvert vos vidèos, elles sont magnifiques et très,très interesantes. Moi je suis aller 2 fois à l'illgraben et je suis venue depuis Yverdon Les Bains avec l'espoir de voir 1 descente de lave torrentiel ,mais pas eu. J'avais fais le parcours ( depuis la gare de Loèche) jusqu'à au pont buthanais. Ça serait quelle meilleur moment pour avoir la chance de voir une lave ? Faites vous vos vidèos ,depuis le Pont? Et pour y aller au bord du Rhône? À moi on m'avait dit que c'ètait pas possible??

Welcome to the Red Bull rock surfing championship!

looks like my every morning toilet business :x

From the number of videos you’ve posted, this must be a very unstable mountain! Are those prayer flags tied to the rail of the bridge?

Ça me parle... Est-ce le fruit de mon imagination ou de mes délires métaphysico-eschatologiques ?!... Toujours est-il que ces coulées fatiguées de merde - ça avance quand même, notons-le - me paraissent en parfaite correspondance avec nos temps terminaux! Ah! Vivement la fin... Le film est pourri et on connaît déjà la fin... Avanti! Presto vivace!

Assustador parece concreto Pierre me fala o que é isso . R.J.Brasil.

super la pluies tombe en Ardèche direction les Alpes encore une vidéo pour demain , merci pierre pour cette vidéo .

This is how it looks like when a beetle on the ground on a lawn is facing the liquid shit coming from a cow

If you watched a flash flood in slo-mo, this is what it would look like. LOL

the slowest mud slide ever. weird, but amazing.

Super cool! Thanks for posting. '

This is why you don’t put a Taco Bell on top of a mountain.

Natural concrete

«Coulée de boue » und nicht „lave“...

Mi questo video

لا حول ولا قوة الا بالله العلي العظيم 🥀

where is this ? endlessly fascinating

Love the sound of the rain on the camera!

Mother nature mixed cement to pave her road

这可能是世界上浓度最高的山洪，看不到水，而是泥浆推着石头跑。

Awesome

Me on the toilet after burritos & beer.

I feel like that sometimes after bad tacos.

The ultimate rock tumbler.

Es wäre interessant zu sehen wie die erste große Welle in die Rhone fließt

that is ridiculously satisfying

Kind of make me think of a concrete pour w/o the big rocks ! Dang !!

2:33 que loco se parece una milanesa

Watch it in x0.25

Can you estimate the size of those boulders on the tongue?

Make it go, Daddy.

That mud slide must be in the Union!

En quel! Pais?? Es??

Its........creamy.

Fúria de Deus, misericórdia!!!!

Can some one tell me we’re all that end up

Beautiful.thank

Very nice V

Danke für das interessante Video. Was mich mal interessiert, wie groß sind die Felsen die da "verschoben" werden. Leider kann man bei solchen tollen Filmen aus der Perspektive keinen vergleich ziehen. Ich wünschte es gäbe eine Möglichkeit einen Maßstab einzublenden.

Lovely

Bien documenté !

Can I borrow some of that strong water to drag all the rocks out of my property? .😂😂😂😂😂😂

👍😎👍

👍👍
