- The top and west coast of the South Island of New Zealand has been experiencing some insanely wet weather this past week, with many many roads cut off, underwater, covered by landslips, trees and mud, or roads totally being wiped out
This is in Marybank just out of Nelson on SH6
This was filmed by Gary Fieldes

Legend has it the home owner is still deciding whether its time to go.
😅 Yeah, the.. concern... in... his..voice............

It shows how strong the Rib Lock retaining wall can be in resisting the earth pressure. Yes it failed to stop the landslide but stood its place while soil tipped over.
Kiwi as , a really laid back landslide . No hurry bro .
😄🤣
It's clear that landslips in New Zealand are very polite and well mannered; moving carefully around homes 🏡 and street boundaries wherever possible. They merely want to travel a little bit, see some new sights and level the playing fields . . .
Almost Canadian in manner and conduct...
.....
Well those trees, where's their masks and are they fully vaccinated?!
One last week took a house with it and deposited it in the middle of a road ,relatively intact.
@@paulg3336 Aahh! A rebellious youngster it seems, hasn't learned to read a road map properly! 😕
Shoutout from Ajijic in México! Been to the south island of NZ many years ago and still in love with the country and its people. You hang in there, lovely folks!
Kia ora, we love you too
Halo de Alemania
Some nice calm Kiwis there, taking it in stride.
In slide????
Inside?
True bro.
This hasn't deterred me from wanting to live in the Tasman/Marlborough district. It will always be a beautiful place to me. Take care everybody ❤️
We're in McKenzie. Gods own country. And there is only one God that matters, so sucks to be a Godless barbarian.
That's an often overlooked facet of living in gorgeous natural areas is having to deal with the natural aspects of the landscape.
I sure hope that was zoomed in, the risk of being that close is insane! It might have been the slowest landslide in recorded history, but that would have destabilized the entire area higher up.
I loved the phone call in the background, presumably to the city council, telling them about the slip
Another reason why we need to start planting more trees and I don't mean pine. Stay safe everyone
Great shot of erosion.
Trees can only withstand do much
@Jay Dee yea that sucks and I'm sure pisses most of us off but unfortunately when farming becomes financially untenable that becomes the new reality and it is happening across the whole country. Most kiwis don't have a clue this is going on. Some of our oldest and largest stations are being sold ashore for millions just to benefit rich foreigners who don't even live here.
@@thepointlesstroll5702 when you see the root systems of a 30-40+ year old native tree you'd think otherwise. It may or may not be the answer but with the amount of landslides we've been having over the last 20 years and far more frequent in recent years its going to be a financial burden on the country to keep clearing roads, home, railways tracks etc constantly in the future.
@Jay Dee You kidding yourself
Why plant trees if not for profit .
Pine trees kill everything under them .
They dont belong in Nz.
The kari Piine NZ grows for hundreds of years.
Plant this Chinese Company.
The weather was scary and to see some of the slips in person was insane. I know a few people that had to be evacuated including some family members. Luckily the weather is getting better
So now you are insane?
@@NoTaboos Wdym?
The weather wasnt even that bad. We had much worse rain before. Things just gave way that have been degrading for years.
Still faster then NZ post.
Lucky that retaining wall was there or that would have come down harder and faster
Just like any fortification...
if the enemy stack up enough dead bodies it becomes a walkover.....
“Fear not, till Birnam wood Do come to Dunsinane”
It's funny how people say just plant more trees or forestry corse these problems, there are so many factors within these events.under ground water ways,slip layers etc...
why do you think thay build retaining walls in the frist place,thay are there to stabilize unstable ground...
Think about it
Farmers used to plant out Eucalyptus to stop erosion, at least thats what I came to understand from reading every single Footrot Flats in existence. The lady who bought my rental chopped down all the euc's separating the two houses on the property, one above the other. I suspect the two houses will meet sometime soon (it's clay type soil like in the video).
Crazy us not a strong enough word. Amazing filming. Thank you
Not crazy at all.
So sorry to see people's lives disrupted like this.
And the seep. Never forget the sheep. Not the idiot sheep or sheeple that "voted" for Ardern, but the actual sheep that provide NZ with actual benefit.
Where is the disruption?
These days you can still have your property and have no disasters but so many do not feel the same about the place their once treasured investment is located. I live in Australia yet it means little these days when people are ripping the sentiment from under us and the vale and long term stability. Making floods and then driving people out of their lives as a way to rezone and rezone or steal the land for device purposes. When the land tries to run for it things are bad!
Heartbreaking. I loved my time in Nelson so many years ago.
Not heartbreaking at all.
@@NoTaboos Yes, heartbreaking.
@@NoTaboos yes heartbreaking, many homes are flooded and causing millions of dollars in damage
@@williamyoung8896 Nothing to do with this video.
@@NoTaboos what do you mean? How is it unrelated
Calm Cool & collected, great video stay safe up there from soggy west coaster.
Nothing like waiting until you can't get out before you get out. Clever.
NZ regularly has landslides like this. You can see evidence of these past events in lots of places. I spent a month touring NZ about 7 years ago. It is an absolutely beautiful country - where the sheep outnumber the people.
Wow that hillside was really saturated.
Para mim esse fenômeno da natureza é algo incrível!

So chilled, Priceless!!!
I need the PT 2 of them trying to leave
The Northern hemisphere is burning up and the rivers are drying up, the southern hemisphere is getting wetter and turning to mud and the planet has been undergoing an increased tilt over the last decade by 1/2 degree and that is what causes global warming.
You are right! Global warming has nothing to do with CO2.
WOW TH-cam has even edited my comment above, it must be right and hit a sensitive spot.
It's all Geoengineering.
Such a calm voice "I think it might be time to go" . Best of luck down there.
Its like mother Earth has been slowly bleeding because of human's stupidity.
We shape our own reality and collectively this is the result 🤷♂️i think.
rubbish it is a solar minimum period...the sun is cooling
@@Anonymous-c4p Collectively I agree. I just hope humanity will understand that even money comes from Earth where we live in.
@@janschezant4747 You are totally ignorant.
@@Anonymous-c4p Wow; that is so deep.
Amazing. Blessings from Taranaki. We got 1 meter on the mountain.
Actually it's very friendly land slide, in my country it will very dangerous and hard to escape...
The decision to stay or leave must be difficult. How do you know it's not worse further along?
Thats what would bother me, Janet. Sheesh, if I leave I might find the road is un passable further along then I wouldn't be able to get back because of this slip.
Considering that it was slow moving at that critical point, and it didnt appear to pose any risk to the house I think, in this particular case it is good they stayed, actually.
How do you know its not better?
My thought exactly! And no way to go back. Hope these folks were okay. They surely didn't hurry. But I can see why. The slide wasn't hurrying either!
Do you think this is a case of building a road through the side of a hill and then not building adequate retaining structures to prevent land slippage? From what I've seen around NZ, the nature of the islands land mass means it must have many roads built on steep hill and mountain sides. This is difficult to master especially when you have massive rain fall
Correct.
Correct, add to this funding issues. Money from transport taxes does not go towards roading, it gets syphoned off to other government departments.
@@fabmanly1070 socialists be like, "muh roads"

Might be time to put a few hundred cubic metres of shingle under the new Nelson library..
say enough to raise the floor level to 6 metres above normal surrounding land levels?
The cones you can see in the beginning are sort of funny.... Glad no one was hurt here. So nice and easy slide.
“We should go”
“Yes let’s go”
*still stands there watching* 🤣🤣🤣🤣 such a kiwi response lolol
There are early detection systems available Wellington. These are Senceive Sensors which can be used on certain cases
Where I come from, we use the mk. I eyeball.
Far out mate! from Wgtn 🇳🇿
I feel sorry for the trees .
What about the insects and spiders?
@@NoTaboos Them too. And all the little critters no one thinks about.
Yep, It's a landslide.. Not much of one compared to the Himalayas or the mountains in South America,or even Switzerland.A minor miracle that no insects were injured...Too bad about the trees...
I saw my reflection on the snow covered hills.
That's how you do it.
Horizontal, no running commentary, and no hysterical woman screaming "Oh My God!!!"
God bless from the Naki my fellow kiwis. Awesome footage 👊🏽👊🏽
There is no god.
This happens much more often than many realize. In the geologist’s world, it’s just a moistened and sped up version of “soil creep” - something you see anywhere there’s a tree, mailbox, phone pole, etc., leaning in a downhill direction. Unless it’s rock, the soil is fluid.
Does the muds or hills have life in it? What really causes the landslides even it has a tight grip of roots from the trees?
Oh no, that is dreadfully sad.
Floods and landslides in beautiful Aotearoa New Zealand.
Not dreadfully sad at all.
or even as it is correctly called''New Zealand'', aotearoa being a modern day make up word
Isso acontece sempre, agora imagina se tivesse casa aí. Forte abraço aqui do Brasil.
This is amazing to see and should be shared more people need to be aware of slides for their safety and there are going to be more and more in the future , sadly
How do you know?
@@NoTaboos how do you NOT? 🤨
@@martyknox2218 Wow; another person who can see the future.
@@NoTaboos because our weather patterns are worsening , half the world is flooding and getting slides .
@@amandatory7 What rubbish. Who says?
This is going to be the new normal, New Zealand.
@@nzbrotrev9028 You're right, there's nothing new about slips (though slips with the consistency of yoghurt might be!). But Nelson getting one metre of rain in four days is certainly new, and the way things are going weatherwise, that could indeed become the 'new normal' throughout much of New Zealand. And where these 'rivers of rain' strike is rather like random artillery fire - it's Russian Roulette - and when one does inevitably hit Wellington, the carnage created by one metre (or more) of rain will be on par with a major earthquake ... what's more, they'll hit with far greater frequency than earthquakes.
That was about as slow and exciting as watching drywall mud dry (or paint)!!! Are they still filming or still deciding to leave???
Didn’t think these road cones would hold it back.
And i can bet that crib wall is still there , masterpiece of design .
I can't imagine being a witness to something like this.
Kudos to the camera operator who stayed on target without a bunch of jerking around or expletives.
You clear the land of trees, shrubs and grasses (weeds) and there is nothing holding the soil in place.
The grasses allow some water to ‘run off’ over the soil.
This is common.
Wow; you are so wise.
Wow, so cool to see earth move like that
They were so graceful and calm about it all having having observed it for a good while I bet. Good wishes sent your way.
Also the land slip was graceful and calm.
Fantastic camra work
Great Video, thanks for sharing
Thanks for holding camera STILL!
Another Kapiti slow slip event, will be looking for it on geonet : )
Seems the retaining wall held out well...
Feeling bad for those poor trees falling victim to the landslide. (no pune intended)
Unfortunately clay doesn't hold up well to continued rainfall and will quickly become liquefied.
Not much else to say really might cut off the comment here lol 😆😂
What is a pune?
@@NoTaboos pun with a typo
Мощные заборчики однако...
Absolutely horrendous hopefully you got out safely
Not horrendous at all.
@@NoTaboos what would be you opinion of it ?
Wow 😳 !! Hope your house doesn't slide away. Hope you left in time. That was quite scary aye 🙏❤️ hope everyone is ok..much love from Brighton beach Christchurch ❣️
Incredible no one was killed. So dangerous to build on uncertain grounds. How could anyone predict such things...
OMG! Lord have mercy on them. Stay safe always there.
It is going to take years for the Nelson area to come right, just so much rain the place is absolutely soaked
All caused by fossil fuels. Right?
least theres no drought like everywhere else
@@russellking9762 Where is "everywhere else" exactly? The whole east coast of Australia has been flooding.
Yes, it looked time to go.
And trees felt their roots moving and said: "Ohh sh**."
Beautiful.
Who ever built that retaining wall needs a high 5 🤘😎🤯
Kia ora Gary, hope your wife & yourself managed to get out in time. From a Kiwi in York, England 👍
Notice how the hill slides only in the area where there is a retaining wall.
I feel sad for all those who've experienced loss as a result of this weather.
The retaining wall remained in place, although it couldn't retain very much of this.
The support wall did its job. I was expecting it to give way and the mountain to come down right after.
It's like the ground is made of custard. Be safe.
Torrential rain does that to topsoil.
I’m a geologist. That’s what we would call a slump. Not big or fast enough to be a landslide.
And yea I realize technically correct is the most annoying form
Of correct. Cool video. Saw that happen to homes built poorly on landfill on a slope. Basically the builder built homes on a slope that was a reclaimed creek bed. All the new soil slid down the hill with the houses. Builder got sued, we did the testing.
Shout out to the retaining wall. Held back the earth faithfully for years until it could not bare the strain any longer.
I wonder if it would’ve been more stable if more trees had been planted on that slope
Incredible.
Lo mismo paso en Rosas, Caucá, Colombia 🇨🇴
Mother Nature rules always
Wishing the best for you all.❤️🙏🙏
Amazing to see. Thx
I was rooting for that mailbox! You stood your ground mailbox You are to be commended...
I hope all ended OK for them. I'd be planting a lot of deep rooting shrubs and trees on that type of land, with Eucalyptus on the flatter areas separately.
Mother Nature be like, "my spot now"
Y'all gotta build a big wall like we did over here in 'Murica!
Thoughts and prayers from Southland.
Prayers do nothing.
Nature making things level.
He waits until it’s too late ,,then says we gotta get out of here..lol.
Good thing they put that retaining wall there, imagine how much worse it would have been.......
Slowest landslide ever! Ones I’ve seen are scary and the dirt moves like water. This moved like lava. Yep, move already people. I mean you can’t be comfortable staying.
This is the slowest landslide I've ever seen!
God stay positive with Sherpa 💖🐕🇬🇧
This is prove that shows us how other continents were formed
Oh my God...that is so creepy to see.
Gee, almost as slow as the All Blacks packing down a scrum when they’re 3 points ahead with a minute to play.
