Impressive landslide caught on tape...

[cumulus1978]

on 7 july in northern Italy ( time about 6,30 in the afternoon ), a little village near Como, exactly on the lake of Como and the name of the village is Brienno, not faraway from the house of George Clooney. The border with us in southern switzerland is also rather near. Severe and long thunderstorms all day long, suddenly a huge landslide from the river invades the street below and perhaps 1 minute before a man with a dog was walking next to the river. Strenght of the water is always impressive...

It's not a shop it's like a pedestrian crossing from the highest part of the village.

T'was more of a flood bursting through the river channel than a landslide.

Lake of Como??

If its Lake Como in Italy then yes, Got a 2 week road trip around south France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Bavaria, Germany, Belgium and back home.

Maybe it'll be ok by then

edit; just seen its in Brienno, I only plan on going south of the lake.
