Comments
Unknown trigger from either this morning or yesterday. Well connected slab crossed three start zones and two paths. The deposition was deep and filled in the bottom of the gully. Wind loading added to the problem making for up to a two foot crown in some places 4"-8" in others. Hard slab/soft slab combination.
