"The causes of landslides are not a mystery to mankind. Layers of rock and soil such that rain running along a clay or rock layer can create a slippery surface for the weight of the layers above it is a common cause. A rock jumble from previous mountain building, broken or fractured rock easily dislodged. We have stated that the earthquakes man experiences between the periodic passages of Planet X can be considered aftershocks from the last passage, and this is true of landslides also. Mountain building rumples the landscape, so the land is not flat but has steep ravines and hill sides. Older mountain ranges are recognized for their rounded or smoothed appearance, because of frequent landslides distributing the rubble.

"As we approach another passage, another Pole Shift, the pace of landslides has picked up. Why would this be? Plates under pressure will put pressure on regions that contain rumpled hillsides and deep ravines, as these give more readily than strictly flat land, thus act as a weak link. In addition, due to the wobble, the weather has gotten more extreme, with drought and deluge increasing in extremes. Dry ground, suddenly flooded with rainwater needing to seek its level as runoff, will create internal water slides between the rock and soil layers that constitute the rumpled hillsides. Is there an early warning system that mankind could use? The trembles that soil about to slide emits could be detected, yes. These are not earthquakes, and have their own frequency. "

LANDSLIDE ON LADY YOUNG; COMMUTERS ADVISED TO SEEK ALTERNATIVE ROUTES

LANDSLIDE ON LADY YOUNG; COMMUTERS ADVISED TO SEEK ALTERNATE ROUTES

A landslide on the Lady Young Road, about half a mile from the Morvant Junction, has made the road impassable, the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development has confirmed. The landslide, which only recently occurred (within the hour), has cut off the flow of traffic just before the evening rush hour is due to start.

A spokesman from the Local Government told Newsday that a team from the San Juan Laventille Regional Corporation had been dispatched to clear the rubble and to conduct search and rescue activities.

The ministry said one vehicle was partially covered by rubble but the driver had been moved to safety.

Former Transport Minister Devant Maharaj was traveling along the Lady Young when the landslide happened, Maharaj said he "just escaped death," but he witnessed the landslide intercept a car he said belonged to former St Ann's East MP Joanne Thomas. He said he later took "a shaken" Thomas to a relative's home.

Maharaj's car was behind Thomas, he said, and his own had "narrowly escaped being covered by falling debris."

The Ministry also posted an update on its Facebook page stating that the driver of the vehicle caught in the landslide has been moved to safety. It is also advising motorists in the area to "exercise extreme caution."

A smaller landslide had occurred earlier in the day, the spokesman said, and while some material had fallen onto the carriageway, it was still passable. The recent rains, he added, had saturated the soil, so as fast as the Corporation had been clearing, material kept falling, until it ultimately manifested in this larger landslide.

This is a developing story

  • At least seven others spent several hours stranded on the face of the mountain with tumbling rocks and falling ice

A climber has died after falling up to 1,000 feet from Oregon's tallest peak and at least seven others spent several hours stranded on the face of the mountain with tumbling rocks and falling ice.

The man fell from Mount Hood in northern Oregon on Tuesday and was airlifted to a Portland hospital where he was pronounced dead. 

By the time rescue crews arrived he was bleeding, had injuries to his face and his respiration was on and off. Authorities have not released his identity.

Two groups of climbers spent much of the day stranded high on the slopes, but slowly made their way down the mountain.

A group of four people, which included a climber who had been hurt and was having difficulty walking, were assisted by rescuers. 

Rescuers used a sled and a rope system to bring down a woman who said she was unable to move. She arrived at the Timberline Lodge just before 8pm. 

A group of three other people descended on their own.

Randy Lee, 44, was descending from near the summit shortly before noon when he met a group of climbers who said their companion had just fallen some 1,000 feet.

'They said he tumbled. They said it looked like he was doing cartwheels,' Lee told Reuters.

Drone’s eye view: Massive landslide keeping road to Terwilliger Hot Springs closed east of Eugene-Springfield

12:00 a.m., Feb. 12, 2018

BLUE RIVER — The massive rock pile blocking the main route to Terwilliger Hot Springs would fill about 800 dump trucks.

A big roadwork job awaits, but the hard part of the predicament is figuring out where to put all the rock. Federal officials have two options: push the pile toward Cougar Lake below or haul the earth away, truckload by truckload.

Either way, the road to the popular warming pools, known by locals as Cougar Hot Springs, will be closed for about another six months, said Willamette National Forest spokeswoman Judith McHugh.

“It’s because of the safety risk above,” she said last week during a visit to the site of the impressive slide, continues.....
