That was close! A rock avalanche dumped two huge rocks that were extremely close to flattening the white house on the picture, in Kvam outside Bergen, Norway. Luckily, the rocks landed on each side of the house. Eighty-six year old Sigrid Uglehus is happy that her house is still standing, and that she was not at home. Amazingly, nobody was injured. What used to be her garage, however, can now provide the entire county with a lifetime supply of toothpicks.
