Forget “one of the best” it is the best . The colossal volume of water , the massive rocks rolled like polystyrene facsimiles of rocks . What a phenomenal sight .
It is so scary right at the beginning. Far-away hollow-like thuds getting louder and louder, then a huge roar. You know something BIG is coming and it sounds angry. Makes you want to run away; a real primal fear of terrible danger. Then, seconds later, the torrent rears its head over the old debris piles, leaping and dancing down the slope until it falls over the edge. Ain't nature wonderful? Receipe: Gather up lots of big rocks, throw in a handful of really big rocks, add sand, earth and lots of medium and small rocks. Now add water and pour on a steep hill. Voila, a super rockfall. Great footage, thanks for posting with no jiggles and wiggles and silly zooms.
Appreciate that you provide these... not just the video, but rather a deliberate visual interpretive moment. This is a powerful force that demands respect. Each flow has its own character.
At last a video without idiots whistling, no screaming women and no shitty music, just sound of pure raw energy and power. great camera work, well done.
Great video. Watching the initial flow crashing around those hairpin turns to meet you head-on was both terrifying and a brilliant piece of work. Bravo.
DAMN!!! And I thought the last video I viewed was intense! SO MUCH FORCE BEHIND THAT WATER! For those of us who has never seen anything like this, it’s just incredible! And the video is so clear! Job well done!💃💃💃😊💃💃💃
Forwen Eymnorty ...I might fantasize about 5 of them screaming in terror in the background... They would be my 5 sisters who terrorized me...MY TURN...Nya, Nya, Nya, Na, Na,...
That's not a damn this is a Spillway design for these things to come through! That's the reason why they put a warning light up on the edge that blinks red when s***'s going down!
I’m intrigued now.... I want to know more. I want to see further upstream at the source of this event. I also want to see further downstream . Where does it all end up?? Great vid. Thanks for lack of music and stupid editing 💪🏼👍🏼
Source is just rain run off that accumulates from the mountain or hill sides, all collecting to some common areas, usually rivers or dry river beds. You get the heaviest rainfalls like a few hours before and then peak flooding occurs hours later. Downstream probably has increased discharge until it starts to fan out or spread out so all that energy from the water and debris flow can dissipate. Or it just takes hours for levels to subside if it’s a river, maybe up to 8-12 hours.
I’ve never seen boulders float. The way those huge boulders were plucked from the spillway is uncanny. What does the flashing light mean I wonder? No boating or fishing today?
Google Translate of description above: TranslateTurn off instant translation1390/5000 Glomero and Teblea, two blocs gathered there since August 10, 2016, having meanwhile babies, wait impatiently to join all their similar along the Rhone. It must be said that the move will be done quite drastically. A compact and very rapid front, composed of blocks, trunks and mud that has barely been moistened, pushed by a mega liquid lava that overflows the recent limits of the channel. This natural outburst calms down a little to resume, but the level of torrential water generally falls. Then there is a lava carpet, a denser muddy flow is formed, covered by the passage on the surface of a more fluid flow. This carpet of lava begins to bear more voluminous blocks than one can hardly distinguish. What you can not feel through the video are: trembling under your feet; Vibrations, which even make the air enter the lungs; The smell, a smell of mud a little sulphurous, an odor that spreads in the valley of the Rhone for one or two days; It is the feeling of being very small ... there is a kind of comparative relationship that settles where I grew ever smaller and the natural strength ever more enormous. Even after a week a kind of internal shock is still present and you feel the desire to kneel before Him who created everything, God.
How about footage of where all this mountain of rocks ENDS UP? A mountain(s) comes down, but what is getting built up?? Connecting the dots, and boulders, would be insightful (and interesting) too. Video with maps as well. Yes, it is mind blowing this conveyor system of huge rocks. Let’s see the Big Picture.
And that my commenter friends is how you prepare with appropriate infrastructure to minimise what in other countries might be described as a catastrophe.

No the canal is narrow enough not to slow down the debris flow which goes straight down in the river, the Rhône, where there is a damm upstream, which they open when the debris flow comes down. So the river clean up all the rubble apart from the biggest stones, the bigger I saw I called him Mecalo, is about 150 tons. Look on my videos "Illgraben 22.07.2016" and "Illgraben - été, automne 2017 - où sont passés Gloméro et Téblita"
This is one of the best debris flow videos that i've ever seen.

Respect < Grinds you to absolute nothing
Wow! That probably doesn't happen very often at that intensity, thank you so much for going out there and making these videos!
At last a video without idiots whistling, no screaming women and no shitty music, just sound of pure raw energy and power. great camera work, well done.
so true
Oh my God!
The sound and visual of viscous mother nature is incredible to witness for sure.
I thought I was the only one annoyed with people whistling during things like this.
Not to mention idiots whistling during my favourite concerts :)
Wow! One of the best flash flood clips I have seen! The beginning was epic👍👍
Great video. Watching the initial flow crashing around those hairpin turns to meet you head-on was both terrifying and a brilliant piece of work. Bravo.

Look at the one of 22.07.2016
Kudos to whomever shot this STUNNING video!
Mother Nature shown here at her most forceful & very dangerous. A Great video Pierre - thank you
That rumble sound just before it rolls around the curve ..
I'm not sure but I think that was thunder
The hero of this video is the signaling beacon on the left :)
Wow! That initial blast of water coming around the corner was like the elevator scene on the shining with the blood.
Ya for sure!
That flash flood wasn't F'ing around.
Looks like chunky peanut butter.
Good comparison
It’s very Kubrickian.
Finally, someone who knows how to film an event
So true--this is mesmerizing!
Exactly , thank you .
Amazing power of water and dirt. Awesome video and great you put no music to it just the raw power of it. Great video
The velocity of that thing is enormous
this is totally amazing how fast these flash floods come on and how much power they have.
Imagine how much force the front has, pushing anything and everything
Well...I searched for "Debris Flow" ....and I found one!!! Nice work! Thanks for this upload👍🏻👍🏻
o m f g
the first sight of the flow was so frightening
The kind of footage I've been searching for. DANNN🔥🔥🔥
Boulders are moved as easily as I move a twig! How frightful!
That's the raw power of water. A mud slide flood is deeply frightening to watch. The sound that it generates says how dangerous this is.
Thank you for not having some woman screaming in the background
Hhhhh lol
Forwen Eymnorty ...I might fantasize about 5 of them screaming in terror in the background... They would be my 5 sisters who terrorized me...MY TURN...Nya, Nya, Nya, Na, Na,...
There is always that one hysterical woman screeching because she is scared... For no reason.
Or some shit music
@@daleolson3506 yea fck that music sht
Seeing the amount of pulverising material being pushed along its a wonder that anything can resist such amazing forces of nature. Thanks for sharing.
That's not a damn this is a Spillway design for these things to come through! That's the reason why they put a warning light up on the edge that blinks red when s***'s going down!
This needs to be livestreamed when it happens!
Un mixte d'eau et de roche qui déboule ainsi c'est impressionnant.
i have a healthy respect for the power of water
I’m intrigued now.... I want to know more.
I want to see further upstream at the source of this event. I also want to see further downstream . Where does it all end up??

Immer wieder beeindruckend🌊
Oh she'll be comin' down that mountain when she comes ...
je suis impressionner par la puissance devastatrice de ce torrent qui semble couler de l' enfer
Danke, das Sie es möglich machen so etwas sehen zu können.
Très beau votre commentaire qui accompagne la vidéo. Merci.
very well filmed ......excellent ..
OMG! This is the biggest one I've seen so far!
if i had a nickel...
Really WOW! Thanks so much! Best Regards
I’ve never seen boulders float. The way those huge boulders were plucked from the spillway is uncanny. What does the flashing light mean I wonder? No boating or fishing today?
“No boating or fishing today because your already dead”. Maybe?
How I wish to experience something like this oneday. I guess the sound must be something else.
you can because ilgraben in switzerland is a mountain and experiences this several times a year and you can plan to visit when it happens
It makes such a pleasant sound.
Thru those boulders like pebbles! Damn!!!
I wonder how much longer that warning beacon will survive at that location?
This song is off our second album, Tumbling Rocks.
How are these flows anticipated? How much rain over a period of time is needed?
The power of water is amazing
Stunningly beautiful!! Thank you!!!
First it was peaceful... then it Sounded like a train was coming!
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽👍👍🙏
What is the frequency of these events?
One of the most awesomely terrifying things I've seen in my life.
If you fell into this you would never be seen again.them boulders would mince you up like a blender I love your filming by the way
We'll done camera man
Do they ever clean out the channel? Love it now music just the sound of mother nature doing her thing

oui l'odeur et les vibrations provoquées par ces rochers et les troncs d'arbres doivent être impressionnantes.
I could watch this till the end.
Never underestimate the power of Mexican food.
JakeArnet 🤣😂🤣😂
Amazing how even many centuries after the landslide, debris is still be washed out of the valley.
It's only been going on since the 1300s. Still, 700 years of erosion leaves a mark on a mountain.
The awesome power of Mother Nature
And that's how canyons are made over time.
It would be nice to see where exactly this starts.
I would like to see where all this mud goes.
Impressionante.

THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY
They call them Flash Floods for a reason.
And that my commenter friends is how you prepare with appropriate infrastructure to minimise what in other countries might be described as a catastrophe.
That was about the wildest thing I’ve seen…zig zagging down that shoot…whew!
WOW! “Harriet! You left the water running!”
Holy fuck that's awesome. Almost looks like concrete pouring down the chute of a cement mixer.
Very cool video.
Does that area frequently have mud slides like this?
It looks as thick as a cement mix
Large aggregate at the beginning!
Like a lahar, from a volcano
No time to run if you were hanging out at that dam enjoying the day
There's actually a warning system installed. You see the flashers in the upper left.
Olá amigo que lindo o seu video muito bom trabalho gostei agora samos amigos deixo o meu joinha e cininho ativo
😮😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵. That is the wildest flow I have ever seen !
Me: has a glass of milk.
My digestive system....

I never see that bevor
Wat great speed water 🌊 came great shot 2 👌📷
impressionnant !!!! c'est dingue ....
When a whole city eats Taco Bell at the same time
No-it’s 10,000 people playing ping pong
I imagine the smell
Adoro ver esses vídeos.
Thanks for uploading!😆
Reminds of the morning after hot wing night

@@pierre-emmanuelzufferey1470 Very impresive.
0:59 You can hear the rumble as it's coming.
For scale, what is the size of the wall, or the height of the lightpole?
Width where the stones are laying is 10 m 40 the light pole was 2 m 20 , has been removed...
@@pierre-emmanuelzufferey1470 thank you.
Just pure raw power of water...
Two of those debris flows and this canal is filled up with rubble. Do they have to clean it up after such an event?
No the canal is narrow enough not to slow down the debris flow which goes straight down in the river, the Rhône, where there is a damm upstream, which they open when the debris flow comes down. So the river clean up all the rubble apart from the biggest stones, the bigger I saw I called him Mecalo, is about 150 tons. Look on my videos "Illgraben 22.07.2016" and "Illgraben - été, automne 2017 - où sont passés Gloméro et Téblita"
Wow! So much power!
That would be absolutely terrifying to see that coming at you. I know there’s a warning system, but still freaky nonetheless.
Wow. Impressive. Would NOT want to get my foot caught in that!
Just like a chocolate milkshake, only crunchy!
Jo S nah, more like crunchy peanut butter.
This is Power.
Incredible !
Is that just from rain? Or did they open a dam or something?
Wonder if the mountains brought any gold down?
Scary how fast that exploded. YIKES.
