General Comments 2

This is the slab that we believe the Garrison/Taylor report referred to. We are not sure when it occurred but it was at least Wednesday or before. It looked to be 40-50 feet wide and ran an hundred feet or so. We couldn’t see any tracks in the area unless it remotely triggered from below.
