Urban Avalanche

03/21/2007 Just south of Juneau AK, an avalanche coming down the west slope of Mount Roberts, crossing Thane Road and into Gastineau Channel. State avalanche control crew fired artillery at Mount Roberts from across Gastineau Channel. The artillery shots caused a massive avalanche that enveloped about 300 yards of highway about two miles from downtown Juneau. A snowstorm this week sealed a winter snowfall record in Juneau (194 inches for the 06-07 season). Video Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation

Really? Urban? Urban means areas within or near cities with a concentrated population, you're thinking about rural, basically the opposite of urban.

@kosovanwhizkid this is urban, this slide is crossing a main road of Juneau, Alaska and almost crossing the several mile wide salt water channel to the heavily populated residential are on Douglas Island. This slide and those like it several times a year cut off dozens of people who live just to the right of the video from the rest of town.
