Yesterday's unprecedented wind-induced #landslide uprooted old and large spruce and larch trees in an extremely steep NW slope of the Zollberg at 1600 m asl in Jerzens/Tirol, AT due to the very strong and gusty winds. [1/7]

Minutes after the first detachment a second partition breaks off higher up. The extreme dust plumes visible in the video show that in this very dry slope much of the sediment displacement is actually happening through the air! [2/7]

For those curious here are the coordinates [3/7]

And a nice before and after as seen from the village. [4/7]

Local forest rangers had a drone inspect the damage today. (c) BFI Imst [5/7]

They reported that the gusts travelled further south into the Pitztal valley causing further damage mostly on the other side of the valley. Destructive like a debris flow in a channel. (c) BFI Imst [6/7]

Similar observations in Ochsengarten/Tirol, AT in Oetztal just one valley away in similar altitude regime. [7/7] #storm #extremeweather #ClimateEmergency #strangetimes

wow. wind-induced landslides are really rare. of course the slope must have been really unstable

Multiple wind triggered landslides?! What are these words you speak?? This is incredible! Do you happen to know the avg. sustained/top speed?

Interesting. Had the trees been weakened or stressed in the months prior? Here in SW British Columbia our trees were harmed during the 2021 heat dome, then near drowned in the 2021 Atmospheric river. Many are really weak & fragile & are expected to fall/die in numbers over the next few winters.

WoW 🤩
