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

      The thing I like most about Walker is his character--he is dripping with leadership and class.  I used to sit in a coaches office when I taught at Walker's high school before Jalon was born---and talk to his dad and the other Catawba College coaches. They showed me film and talked x and o stuff.  I barely remember it, but I liked Bennett, and when Coastal Carolina started their program, he took Jalon's dad with him.  So I have many reasons to want Walker on the team and I know he has a football background better than most.  I think Jalon's father returned to Salisbury to coach Catawba later, when Jalon was born.  I have heard (from former colleagues) that he is a "great kid."   That means a lot. Having said that, there is a concern that he could bust because he was not always working on his pass rushing moves, etc.  Looking great in college is one thing; as I have said before, people playing 1 role all the time look great in college film, but half of the first rounders bust.  So I have to think of his as a bit more raw than a guy who gets DE/edge reps 24-7.  This does not mean he can't do it; it means I worry that he does not have the depth of training he needs to transition well to the NFL.  He has to be developmental to a degree--so that is where I am coming from-your points are valid, based on selected known quantities, but we obviously are dealing with some unknown variables that should be considered objectively.  That is where I am.

      I feel you... our scheme is safety specific but I only hate that Evero is involved. I don't mind the talent but  Evero shouldn't have much say in the decision.
