The mighty avalanche

This morning I received a video from a friend of mine, showing a monster, slow moving avalanche that happened on February 6, somewhere in South Tyrol, and that was captured by a local fellow who was busy shoveling his own roof...

Even today is tax day in America, I can vividly go back forty-four years ago, day-for-day, to remember witnessing a similar avalanche ripping off houses in my French home village of Montriond...

Times change, but avalanches remain as potent as ever...
