Default Avalanche crushes house to pieces, two killed in Norway - very wet weather

So where have you been lately?
I mean, do you have any comment on the mag. 9.0 quake in Japan?
What caused it from you point of view?

A couple are missing after their house was crushed to pieces near the
town of Balestrand last night. Their house was situated near
a river in a valley which a large avalanche of snow and mud
followed heavy rain.

Some places had over 70 mm in
12 hours. Balestand is situated in Sogn og Fjordane county
(fylke) where 33 roads are or was closed. Over 40 roads are
closed in the counties of Hordaland, Sogn og Fjordane and
M re og Romsdal.

Interesting run of SSPs. No doubt you will be getting another
earthquake when this anticyclone disperses or moves from over the UK.

Ditto western and or southern Japan.

(Yes I know they have been having a stream of 5M's or so.
