Rock Slide Mount Rainier

You would not have wanted to have been on Mount Rainier’s upper Nisqually Glacier last Saturday. Around 4pm a huge part of Nisqually Cleaver fell down creating a fast river of rock and snow. Witness this video:

This was on the south side of the mountain, however, witnesses claim to have seen the dust cloud from Seattle, farther to the north.
