                                       Close Call: Boulder Narrowly Misses Farmhouse in Italy
                                                     A  wake of destruction trails behind a huge boulder after it tore down the  hillside, missing a house by less than a meter, and destroyed a barn  before stopping in the vineyard. A second giant boulder, below, which  detached during the same landslide on Jan. 21, stopped next to the  house, in Ronchi di Termeno, in Northern Italy.

  	This boulder's path ended right next to the house.  According to reports, the  Trebo family living in the house was unharmed. As shocking as the event  must have been for them, there was some forewarning. The giant boulder  in the foreground of the picture below is from an earlier landslide,  date unspecified.
