“…For example, it has been estimated that 65 percent of the damage of the Alaskan earthquake of 19~4 was caused by ground failure (Youd,197r). The damage and deaths in central Virginia in 1969 are commonly associated with Hurricane Camille, but most of the nearly 150 people killed at that time were caught in rapidly moving debris avalanches triggered by the high-intensity rainfall (Williams and Guy, 1973).…”

“…Admittedly, many extreme floods that have occurred in well-vegetated lowland valleys have left little lasting impact on the landscape [Wolman and Eiler, 1958;Costa, 1974;Gupta and Fox, 1974;Moss and Kochel, 1978]. Yet numerous other case studies have highlighted the strong formative role of extreme floods given particular geomorphic settings [Hack and Goodlett, 1960;Williams and Guy, 1973;Costa, 1978;Gupta, 1983;Jarrett and Costa, 1986;Osterkamp and Costa, 1987;Kochel, 1988;Patton, 1988;Ritter, 1988;Pitlick, 1993]. Part of the variability in geomorphic effects of extreme floods reflects climatological contrasts which affect vegetation cover and soil erodibility on valley bottoms and slopes [Wolman and Gerson, 1978;Schumm and Lichty, 1963].…”

“…Certains événements rares mais à caractère catastrophique sont responsables de la mobilisation de grands volumes de matériaux meubles sur les versants. C'est le cas des laves torrentielles résultant du passage d'ouragans subtropicaux, comme ce fut le cas en 1969 (Williams et Guy, 1973). Dans le secteur à l'étude, le passage de l'ouragan Camille avait occasionné des précipitations de 710 mm en huit heures, les 19 et 20 août.…”

“…On peut faire appel à cette même évolution pour expliquer le décapage plus ou moins profond des altérites en certains endroits, ce processus étant alors pour partie responsable de la présence sur les versants de matériaux d'âges différents, comme le laisse voir leur degré d'évolution minéralogique. D'où la juxtaposition d'arènes et d'altérites plus évoluées sur la retombée de la Blue Ridge et les collines du Piedmont, cela même en dehors des vallons principaux régulièrement récurés par les laves torrentielles et les coulées boueuses (Williams et Guy, 1973).…”
