Landslide Videos from Brazil
Dr. Dave has posted links to a few scary landslide videos from the recent heavy rains affecting the Santa Catarina province of Brazil. This latest one shows an ambulance being swept off a road by a “small” landslide. The ease with which the vehicle is moved is quite impressive.

Elsewhere in the region people have not been so lucky and there is a heavy death toll. Click through for two videos.
