Illgraben 29.05.2017 - Lave torrentielle, Murgang, debris flow- Part 1 minute 0-10
Gloméro et Téblita, deux blocs que j'avais ainsi nommés, réunis là depuis le 10 août 2016, ayant fait entre temps des bébés, attendent impatiemment de rejoindre tous leurs semblables le long du Rhône. Il faut dire que le déménagement sera fait d'une manière assez drastique.
Gros front compact et très rapide formé de blocs, de troncs et de boue à peine humectée, poussé par une méga lave assez liquide qui déborde des récentes limites du chenal. Ce déchaînement naturel se calme un peu pour reprendre, mais le niveau d'eau torrentielle baisse généralement. Puis on distingue un tapis de lave, un écoulement boueux plus dense se forme, recouvert par le passage en surface d'un écoulement plus fluide. Ce tapis de lave commence à porter des blocs plus volumineux que l'on distingue encore difficilement. Ce que l'on ne peut pas ressentir au travers de la vidéo, ce sont : le tremblement sous les pieds; les vibrations, qui font même vibrer l'air qui entre dans les poumons; l'odeur, une odeur de boue un peu soufrée, une odeur qui se répand dans la vallée du Rhône pendant un ou deux jours; c'est le sentiment d'être tout petit...il y a une sorte de relation comparative qui s'installe où moi je devins toujours plus petit et la force naturelle toujours plus énorme. Même après une semaine une sorte de choc interne est encore présent et on ressent le désir de s'agenouiller devant Celui qui a créé toute chose, Dieu.

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 :)
This is one of the best debris flow videos that i've ever seen.
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.
That rumble sound just before it rolls around the curve ..
I'm not sure but I think that was thunder
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 .
The hero of this video is the signaling beacon on the left :)
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.
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!
Wow! One of the best flash flood clips I have seen! The beginning was epic👍👍
Kudos to whomever shot this STUNNING video!
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.
o m f g the first sight of the flow was so frightening
The velocity of that thing is enormous
Mother Nature shown here at her most forceful & very dangerous. A Great video Pierre - thank you
Imagine how much force the front has, pushing anything and everything
this is totally amazing how fast these flash floods come on and how much power they have.
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 kind of footage I've been searching for. DANNN🔥🔥🔥
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!💃💃💃😊💃💃💃
Look at the one of 22.07.2016
Well...I searched for "Debris Flow" ....and I found one!!! Nice work! Thanks for this upload👍🏻👍🏻
Boulders are moved as easily as I move a twig! How frightful!
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
Stunningly beautiful!! Thank you!!!
This needs to be livestreamed when it happens!
Immer wieder beeindruckend🌊
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.
Très beau votre commentaire qui accompagne la vidéo. Merci.
That's mesmerising to watch, thanks 😁
Oh she'll be comin' down that mountain when she comes ...
Wow amazing footage.
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!
Thanks for uploading!😆
impressionnant !!!! c'est dingue ....
Incredible !
Incroyable
Do they ever clean out the channel? Love it now music just the sound of mother nature doing her thing
Un mixte d'eau et de roche qui déboule ainsi c'est impressionnant.
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.
Thank you for your translation
I wonder how much longer that warning beacon will survive at that location?
very well filmed ......excellent ..
i have a healthy respect for the power of water
je suis impressionner par la puissance devastatrice de ce torrent qui semble couler de l' enfer
Thru those boulders like pebbles! Damn!!!
Really WOW! Thanks so much! Best Regards
OMG! This is the biggest one I've seen so far!
if i had a nickel...
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.
impressionnant la nature
oui l'odeur et les vibrations provoquées par ces rochers et les troncs d'arbres doivent être impressionnantes.
Waited for long ? Recorded with lots of patience , good footage.
What is the frequency of these events?
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽👍👍🙏
It makes such a pleasant sound.
How are these flows anticipated? How much rain over a period of time is needed?
One of the most awesomely terrifying things I've seen in my life.
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
We'll done camera man
This song is off our second album, Tumbling Rocks.
THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY
They call them Flash Floods for a reason.
Excellent filming.
The awesome power of Mother Nature
The power of water is amazing
Wow! So much power!
Do these cascades stop as quick as they start?
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.
This was awesome...
I'd like to see the section of mountain that is now missing above above this flow.
This is Power.
It looks as thick as a cement mix
Large aggregate at the beginning!
Like a lahar, from a volcano
Does it stop as fast as it started
Adoro ver esses vídeos.
Gigantisches Naturschauspiel I never see that bevor
And that my commenter friends is how you prepare with appropriate infrastructure to minimise what in other countries might be described as a catastrophe.
Is that just from rain? Or did they open a dam or something?
I could watch this till the end.
The power of nature!
Where did you know that?
Que lugar espectacular
It would be nice to see where exactly this starts.
I would like to see where all this mud goes.
Wonder if the mountains brought any gold down?
This water come from the snow, is this released by a dawn or it's naturaly concentred?, because it raises on a sudden. In fact, there's warning lights. Esta cantidad de agua proviene del deshielo, es liberada desde una presa o baja naturalmente así por la ladera?, porque viene de repente, de hecho hay luces que avisan.
Snow melt and sudden storm rain, 60 mm/h 10mn. 12mm tot. go down the couloirs directly as debris flows, and come together downhills along the stream and arrive at a sudden, 15 minutes time to run away since first lightnings...the light belong a security system based on hight of the flood and earth shaking and diverse pluviometres...7 minutes between alarm and flood..
@@pierre-emmanuelzufferey1470 Very impresive.
Any bets on whether some knob will eventually try to kayak down something like that? That's is truly frightening.
How much?
Great video and thank you. Was this a true lahar due to volcanic activity? Or was it due to heavy rains? I ask this due to a little volcano almost in my backyard. It is called Mount Rainier.
Hello, It's due to "heavy" rain (about 12mm in a quarter of an hour) and snow melt. It's rather called debris flow. In Mount Rainier you have rather lahar ? I saw the video of what seems to be a lahar at Mount Rainier called "Like being in hell..."
This is probably a good mini - preview of what Mt. Rainier would look like.
First it was peaceful... then it Sounded like a train was coming!
0:59 You can hear the rumble as it's coming.
Impressionante. La potenza dell'Acqua ha spostato un Grosso Masso senza problemi.
Grande Carlo un bacione salutami tua figlia
Just pure raw power of water...
Wat great speed water 🌊 came great shot 2 👌📷
Me: has a glass of milk. My digestive system....
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"
whats the flashing light for ???
dantesque !! Merci pour le partage. Ou se déroule la coulée svp?
Illgraben On peux y aller depuis Loéche Parking à la gare, et suivre à pied pont bouthanais. C'est magnifique
Merci beaucoup !
How do you know when it is going to come down?
American flash floods: slowly eases into it with a pile of debris in creek bed and gradually increasing water flow The French: “hold my wine”...
Its tiiiiimmme!
Absolutely crazy
Amazing. Where was this?
Canton Valais, Switzerland
Where did this occur?
Be a good way of getting rid of all the junk you have been saving up all year.
