The metal insulator transition of nano-scaled $VO_2$ devices is drastically different from the smooth transport curves generally reported. The temperature driven transition occurs through a series of resistance jumps ranging over 2 decades in amplitude, indicating that the transition is caused by avalanches. We find a power law distribution of the jump amplitudes, demonstrating an inherent property of the $VO_2$ films. We report a surprising relation between jump amplitude and device size. A percolation model captures the general transport behavior, but cannot account for the statistical behavior.
