the above was from natural causes, and the hillside they came tumbling off of appears to be about 150 feet higher than the road
Good video views of the hillside and work underway to clear potential problem rock, and likely, to set up ledge/shelves to catch any small falling rock

ReplyDeleteonly people in Cali say "the" in front of the road name/number.
In Tenn or KY its just " I-75"
hope no one was injured in this landslide.
We're funny that way. When I grew up in Michigan, we ended most sentences with "aye", like Canadians. Here in So Cal, we don't have exit ramp numbers on the freeways, and until you learn all the streets, it's a bit of a problem. They started to number them about 10 years ago, ran out of money.
Deletemaybe we say "the" because we have so many interstates in town. Here in San Diego, we have the 163, 15, 8, 67, 805, 905, 5, 52, and 78. Heck, I'm probably forgetting a couple.
