The Avalanche

My dad was born in Stryn on September 12, 1936. The next day, September 13, 1936 a devastating avalanche wiped out 2 villages; 73 people lost their lives; whole families where wiped out. I know of one survivor, a baby crib was caught in a treetop and and in the cradle was a little baby boy. My brother went to school with this man's son perhaps 27 years ago. I've heard this story all my life, and yesterday we went out to the site of the disaster.

I uploaded my picture to picasa, there should be a link here for you to see them if you want.
