Comments

Saw a couple similar fresh wind slab releases. Looks like this small slab under the rock band may have been triggered by a loose sluff coming off the cliff.

A fairly good sized debris pile nearby from another bigger natural, likely from yesterday (1-13-15). The crown was mostly blown in today.
