Reminded me of this rock slide in Taiwan (note the top of mountain at 0:46s):

Here's a video with aerial views:

What's interesting is how they've already piled dirt up around the base of the nearby electrical tower to help divert any rocks. A rock slide hitting that tower would likely take out power to the whole valley.

Wow... those 3 barely missed and if you look @ the distance the rock that stopped just short of hitting the house traveled, that's an incredibly narrow margin..... someone's looking out for that family.

Was it a mob hit? Or a mob miss?

 

[zinfamous]

wow, that sucks.

I actually know a guy who's fiance was killed by a bolder while vacationing in Hawaii some years ago. It smashed into her cabin while she was sleeping.

What a coincidence--I know of one for sale!

(a bit of a fixer-upper, though)

There's probably three generations and 11 people living in that house.
