Sarno (SA), Campania, central Italy, May 8th 1998

A view of the upper part of a mudflow.
You can see that the flow starts as a single flow, then it divides into two different tongues, according to the slope direction, then the two tongues join again to make a larger flow that hits the village.
In the upper part of the slope, just near the crown, you can see the outcropping limestone.
