Another major rock slide, the second one, has closed highway 64 in Polk county for at least 3 weeks. It came as crews were trying to move debris from the first slide, and only moments after a state geologist gave them a warning to clear the area.

  • Wow. Thanks God the geologist made that call. If not for her, it would've been very deadly. She's a hero.

  • Yeah, but if you've driven on 64 you know there are signs everywhere that say 'watch for falling rocks' still, you only expect A rock, not the entire side of the mountain.

  • "This is what happens when you mess with nature!"

    Al Gore.

  • This is exactly what i was looking for. This is AWESOME!!

  • Also, why employ the term "Break-up" in "Break-up the boulder"? If the journalist is going to employ such compounded words, why not apply the term "break-down" in this case?

  • A perfect example of the ineptitude that reigns the vast majority of the planet. The so-called competent private contractors should not have attempted destroying the displaced boulder exactly in front where the slide had recently happened. By the way, such slide should not be called an accident because road-engineers know that slides can and will happen, therefore they should be prophylactic...

    I will go search for a spring-break video and comment about our future so-called professionals.....

  • wow vanessa bateman a true heroine, amazing.

  • @YDontUSmelWhtUShovln I've driven that road many times. The alternative is a 2 hour detour. In the middle of the mountains, you can't just put a road anywhere.

  • yaya hehe me cat is tikling me balls yayhehe!!!!!

  • You don't have to be a geologist to know when a hill is thumping snapping and cracking that you should get the F outta there!

  • Give that geologist a medal.
