Comments
This may be old news, but I don't see it on the list. Limited visibility when I went through the area. Guessing this occurred over the weekend. Appeared to be a HS-N-R4/D3 at or near the ground. Crown maybe 2-4' deep? Debris pile on catherines lake. Maybe just a storm slab but looked bigger to me. Low quality photos, may or may not show up.
