Rockslide?

Well, I'll be damned. Good call bro.

75 yards up the creek from the house. A big chunk of the creek bank let go and slid off into the creek. It looked like maybe 6-8 feet of dirt on top of bedrock and once saturated it basically slid off of the bedrock like a playground slide. I'll post up pics when I can upload.

When you had said the ground was shaking is what made me think of a rock slide. I don't recall tornadoes doing that.

I think these area will be fine. It's the residences up roads like Winklers Creek that are likely gone forever.

I lived up Winklers Creek in the 90s. I go up regularly and park at the mall to cycle up to the Parkway whenever I'm back in the country. Boone and vicinity means the world to my friends and I.

Someone on another forum of mine said a close friend of theirs with family in Ashville just lost their parents and nephew and their sister is in trauma surgery after their house collapsed while they were on the roof waiting for a rescue.

This is all terrible stuff, but losing so much of your family in a way like that is just unfathomable, I couldn't imagine.

I hope all my fellow Panthers fans living in NC are staying as safe as possible
