I'd Be Moving!!

A ROLLING stone gathers no moss but it sure can do an amazing amount of damage. Particularly when it's the size of a small house.

A family in Italy have found this out the hard way after not one, but TWO, giant boulders hurtled down the hillside above their home in northern Italy straight into their 300-year-old stone barn.
Stunning pictures show the destructive path of the huge rocks as one missed the farm house itself by mere metres as it rolled through the barn.
The other stopped only inches from the house.
Thankfully, no one was injured in the astounding incident which happened shortly after 8pm local time on January 21, the UK'sDaily Telegraph reported.
However, the barn was left in tatters, with a tractor and other equipment destroyed or flattened.
The owner of the farm, Herbert Trebo, said the rockfall "sounded as if a train had thundered through the living room."
Aerial footage of the formerly picturesque scene shows a trail of destruction as the boulders fell in the landslide, rolled down the hillside and clattered towards the farm buildings.
One of the enormous rocks came to a stop just a couple of feet from the main house. The other one only came to a standstill in a vineyard dozens of meters after hitting the farm.

Pictures on a Facebook page created to raise money for the owners show another even bigger boulder lying close to the farm house that appears to have been there since a much earlier incident.
The family has been evacuated while authorities decide how to remove the rocks.

OH sorry, I meant to tell you alleyrose, I made them work... You have to click that little icon on the end ... you know the one that looks like a piece of white paper. It changes the editor mode.
