Comments
6" or so deep and roughly 70ft wide. Breaking on a ridge that typically sees wind loading and this is not an uncommon spot for a small slab to break loose
Comments
Not threatening or hit by any means but this was one of a couple instances of small wind slabs breaking and running fairly fast today
