Comments
This natural appeared to release either overnight or during the day on Monday during the day when the winds and precip rates were high. This path is typically triggered and loaded by NW crossloading. The crown appeared to be filled in significantly, yet it was still at least 12 inches deep, and the debris had hard slab chunks that ran to the transitions.
