USGS has a Youtube channel and they just posted a video going over it, plus more info into hydrothermal explosions around Yellowstone.

Landslide blocked a major feeder river in BC. Eventually this will rupture and wash away some towns down river. It's like watching a disaster in slow mo until the rainy season hits in a few months.

That's one hell of a damn that mountain made and one hell of a lake if nothing is done about it.

If anyone reads this before watching the video, for some reason: The damn is at the 3 min mark, so 3 min of showing an almost dry river, that may soon get fucked. Then 4 more minutes upstream showing a decent size gully, which will make a decent size temporary lake.

"The government has now measured the landslide at 1,000 metres in length, 100 metres wide, and has a height of roughly 30 metres.
Over the last 24 hours, the lake forming behind the landslide has risen at a rate of roughly 22 centimetres per hour, according to the government."

USGS says 5.2. Not really that big in the scheme of things.

Definitely don't miss California right now though.
