Comments
Very large debris piles at the bottom of Santiago in Mineral Fork this morning, presumably from yesterday afternoon. Didn't manage a good pic as my phone wasn't behaving but maybe 6'+ deep or more, big enough to do some serious damage. Wet debris was widespread on northerly facing slopes in this drainage, but the piles below Santiago were particularly intimidating.
