Illgraben 24.06.2021 - Anne, ma sœur Anne, ne vois-tu rien venir ? Upsss

Das Reich Gottes wird kommen, wenn du es nicht erwartest. Yahouweh n'était pas dans le vent vent fort et violent qui déchirait les montagnes et brisait les rochers, il n'était pas dans le tremblement de terre, il n'était pas dans le feu...(serait t'il dans la lave torrentielle ?) et après le feu, un murmure doux et léger.… Elie montait vers le sommet du mont Carmel où il se prosterna jusqu’à terre, le visage entre les genoux. Il dit à son serviteur : Monte plus haut et regarde du côté de la mer. Celui-ci monta, scruta l’horizon et revint dire : Je ne vois rien. Elie l’envoya sept fois pour regarder. A la septième fois, le serviteur annonça : Je vois venir un petit nuage qui s’élève de la mer....Two fix camera and I...If i were at the place of the first camera, I should have run at a safer place....under the bridge of La souste was also not a safe place....Between the moment I think the debris flow started and its arrival in the Rhône : 18 minutes.. I suppose between alarm and passage of the debris flow : 9 minutes...Speed of the flow : 36 km /h. So, keep at a safe distance from the torrents when heavy rain.... Première camera était fixe, si j'y avait été, j'aurais dû courir à un lieu plus sûr, restez éloigné des torrents en cas de pluie torrentielle. Erste Kamera war Fixcamera, wenn ich dort gewesen wäre, hätte ich an einen sichereren Ort laufen sollen, bei sintflutartigem Regen von Wildbächen fernbleiben.

😳 wenn man sieht mit welcher Kraft diese Massen bewegt werden bekommt man Gänsehaut. Mit Kopfhörer und voller Lautstärke klingt es fast so, als wenn man mittendrin ist und das Beben und Poltern selbst miterlebt.😐 Dankeschön für die tollen Aufnahmen. 👍🏼

The flow is like someone just release hundreds of thousands of tones of cement from the top of the mountain. Incredible that such large rocks could be moved by the flow so easily.

The beginning of this video .... one of the most beautiful thing I've ever seen ..... thank you so much This is giving hope to everybody who is waiting for some change.

Thanks so much for your videos! It's always amazing to watch a debris flow crash into the Rhone and watch the riverbed change so quickly!

[@albertbatfinder5240]

Amazing footage. Years ago I was driving through that region and I thought I’d look for a nice stretch of river beside which to have a picnic. When I got there the river bank was so hostile and barren and frankly scary I soon changed my mind. But it taught me that not every French river is the Loire.

Always love a good Illgraben debris flow! One of the biggest, blockiest flows I have seen. What is quite impressive is the amount of ROCK DUST that is coughed up out of the mudflow, below the drop structures where boulders are grinding their corners off.

Absolutely amazing how much force is in that flow. Those huge boulders were thrown around like they were feathers. Watching dark areas form when going over the concrete edge and then it spits up into the air. I'm guessing this is something that happens often so the locals knew and evacuated if necessary. I found this very soothing and frightening at the same time. And thank you for letting nature speak instead of humans.

I lived in the Rhone valley (canton Valais) for three years, and springtime was always quite breathtaking, and sometimes a little scary. Truthfully, the Swiss are masters at avalanche, rockslide and water control - but even they can be surprised at the ferocity of the water's power. J'etait toujours un peu nerveux.

Amazing footage. I don't think I've seen this flow volume before. I guess thats steam produced at the steps midway through the video? Definitely on my bucket list.

[@r.awilliams9815]

That's not steam, it's dust. For some weird reason, pockets of dust sometimes stay dry for a while moving downstream, then puff to the surface. Nobody really knows why.

[@Don.Challenger]

@@r.awilliams9815 Yes, I think of it as mixing powdered chocolate/cocoa into a glass of milk you get those nuggets/beads of chocolate that insistently remain that are dry inside no matter how long you stir it. Certainly, here it is stirred with ultimate vigor, yet dust still occasionally gouts up and out. I wonder if some of it is from the previous flows abandoned to languish and dry along the sides that may be broken off/sloughed away and pummeled into the flow right close there and the dried dust entrained can then bursts forth freed to the air. @Gavin Critchley, yes, I think this was a maximal flow if not the maximum one. Watching it leaping at you must be quite the sight. Maybe next Halloween I will dress up as "Illgraben flow" and give everyone along my route a thrill - trick or treat - bah.

Mais même à sec, rien qu en observant dans le lit ce tas de gravats, ces arbres arrachés, le tout dans un silence de cathédrale …l’imagination d’une coulée de lave fait froid dans le dos ! Par contre concernant les coulés, comment se fait il que certaines coulées se font par vague ? Comment se forme t elle? Je un peu de mal à comprendre cette forme de déferlante ! Pour moi, quant il pleut j’imagine une coulée plus au moins rapide….mais en continu ! Pourquoi des vagues ? En tout cas grand merci pour vos vidéos, elles sont top 👍👍👍

[@davidfox3258]

In the beginning the little stream has no idea of what is behind it.

[@r.robbie7918]

Can it be that from 9:35 due to all the friction between the stones the water in the pit starts to boil? You can clearly see the steam. Seems plausible but is it so?

[@pierre-emmanuelzufferey1470]

The steam is powder, due to the stones and the blocks which are crushed the one against the others, it happens when the mud has higher density than the stone. Of course there is also heat inside that process, but I don'nt know how high. Inside a huge rock slide there is very high temperature, it's why if glacier comes down with it, the ice beginn to melt, and huge debris flow could result from it (Bondo, Tapovan).
