Slid naturally during the storm. First seen on the 29th but I've been out of cell coverage for a couple days. At least 400 ft wide or so.. sympathetic release of other spots in nearby bowls as well. Likely same time.

Debris pile pretty impressive. Hard to see in flat light photos but it blasted well into the flats of the lake and took out a handful of trees.
