Comments
High winds and poor visblity made it hard to get good photos or beta. Although from the flats below it looked to be 2-4 or more of a crown. We have been seeing intense grauple pooling and migration downhill, as well as extreme winds through out the storm. I am not the least bit surprised to see a mid slope failure in this area.
