Earlier this week I highlighted a major landslide at the village of Kantagnos in Baybay<\/a>.\u00a0 The Inquirer has now published an image that provides a detailed view of this site<\/a>:-<\/p>\n The aftermath of the landslide at Kantagnos village in Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines, triggered by Tropical Storm Megi. Image from Inquirer.net.<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n .<\/p>\n This is a very large failure in deeply weathered materials.\u00a0 The source appears to be a shallow slide on a steep, forested hillslope, but note that there are at least two other sources, albeit substantially smaller.\u00a0 The landslide has spread considerably to affect a very large swathe of land.\u00a0 The small number of standing trees might suggest that it was a comparatively shallow flow, but to a human or a weak structure it would have been devastating.\u00a0 Note the houses on the margin of the landslide on the right side of the image.<\/p>\n The Philippines News Agency reports that at least 26 people are known to have died in this devastating landslide<\/a>.<\/p>\n A second major event occurred in the village of Pilar in Abuyog.\u00a0 Here at least 29 people are known to have died<\/a>, but as many as 177 more are reported to be missing.\u00a0 This total is likely to reduce, but it is clear that the landslide here has been devastating.<\/p>\n I can find few images of this landslide online, but Youtube has a drone video of the site<\/a>:-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/blogs.agu.org\/landslideblog\/files\/2022\/04\/21_04-BayBay-4.jpeg\")
