Incredible landslide caught on camera in Marybank, Nelson, New Zealand

@@nzbrotrev9028 You're right, there's nothing new about slips (though slips with the consistency of yoghurt might be!). But Nelson getting one metre of rain in four days is certainly new, and the way things are going weatherwise, that could indeed become the 'new normal' throughout much of New Zealand. And where these 'rivers of rain' strike is rather like random artillery fire - it's Russian Roulette - and when one does inevitably hit Wellington, the carnage created by one metre (or more) of rain will be on par with a major earthquake ... what's more, they'll hit with far greater frequency than earthquakes.

Do you think this is a case of building a road through the side of a hill and then not building adequate retaining structures to prevent land slippage? From what I've seen around NZ, the nature of the islands land mass means it must have many roads built on steep hill and mountain sides. This is difficult to master especially when you have massive rain fall

Correct.

This happens much more often than many realize. In the geologist’s world, it’s just a moistened and sped up version of “soil creep” - something you see anywhere there’s a tree, mailbox, phone pole, etc., leaning in a downhill direction. Unless it’s rock, the soil is fluid.
