On this day in 1962, a massive landslide of ice, rock, and mud crashed down the side of Peru's highest Mountain, Nevado de Huascaram. The mass of debris, nearly 50 feet deep, moved 11 miles in 15 minutes and was as wide as one mile. Led to 3,500 fatalities.

It is the most violent tornado ever recorded in South America and in the entire Southern Hemisphere. It passed over a lagoon sucking up all the water inside of it. Dr. Ted Fujita studied this tornado and said, "the most intense and violent tornado I have ever seen outside of the United States." To date, this is the only F5/EF5 tornado on record in the Southern Hemisphere.
