There was no heavy rain and no earthquake - that are the usual reasons for stone and sand avalanches...

Very early on Saturday morning the avanlance burst off in an altitude of 1500m and came down to the valley (that is an altitude of about 700m), crossed river Drava and overwhelmed the main road of the valley. Luckily nobody got injured or died.
River Drava is not in its riverbed anymore - it´s flowing across the road and towards the railway embankment (as you see it the upper right pic). As a result there won´t be any train service during the next days.
Until Friday the road will be closed.

There are lots of things like this happening in Portugal this winter. Here it is because of too much rain: the soil is totaly wet and thus much more heavy and slopes fail.

In several highways there were lands sliding on adjacent slopes filling the road with soil. The circle road around Lisbon - CREL - is closed in one way since a month ago, they are still taking out soil and there are others where that happened also.

It's not necessary to have heavy rain, only continuous rain that makes the soil wet and heavier than usual

Well, we had no continuous rain either. We had snow and one day of rain Ricky´s hut - Page 7 Icon_wink

Was there a possibility that the soil was more wet or more heavy? For instance if something was built in the last monthes on the top of the hill?
Or that the river escavated the down part of the slope?
I tried to read the article but I miss lots of words in German. I'll try to translate it...

Very wet soil is quite unlikely - in winter the sun hardly reaches that part of the mountain and so the snow did not melt yet.
It´s a steep mountain - not just a hill Ricky´s hut - Page 7 Icon_lol

No way to build anything up there (it WOULD be possible to build something but nobody would do it)
I think river Drava is too small to really escavate anything - I think... Ricky´s hut - Page 7 711340

In the text they say that nobody knows any reasons yet. We will have to wait...

by garina do mar Tue Feb 23, 2010 12:55 am

Yes

I went through the article (german to english/french translation is not so bad) and they say that don't know yet.

Let´s wait

Tomorrow I will be in town so I could arrange to come to the Lienz webcam at about 14:10 Estonian time (=13:18 Lienz cam time).
I will come walking from the background towards the cam (BUT I won´t wave all the time Ricky´s hut - Page 7 Icon_razz

otherwise the police might came and take be away Ricky´s hut - Page 7 Lol

) so I will be visible for more than a minute.

by AllyKass Thu Feb 25, 2010 3:05 pm

ahha,good!but maybe you can park your blue car so,that it is visible from cam? (i saw there today in the morning one blue car and thought that maybe its your car -now all austrian blue cars are ricky's Ricky´s hut - Page 7 Lol

)

No, that won´t be possible because I will go on foot Ricky´s hut - Page 7 Icon_razz

I have several things to do in town. There are quite a lot of pedestrian areas and one-way roads so going by car is neither faster nor more pleasant than going on foot. And since it is not THAT far from home I don´t need the car at all...

Bring your PANASONIC and pretend to take pictures -- that way we will know which one you are and you can be standing there for a while without looking odd. Ricky´s hut - Page 7 646609

What a clever idea, Bisky!!!!

What color clothes will you be wearing, Ricky?? Will you have a hat of some sort??

Rather dark for sure...
Black trousers and (depending on how cold it will be) a dark bluish pullover OR a black jacket.

Nope.

I´m sure you will spot me anyway. Ricky´s hut - Page 7 989401
