| Name | jason d |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Just that this broke up over the water, probably plenty of stuff left over, I didnt think to report it until all the recent earth activity. I walk a coworker to her car each night at ten, and ran in to make a Paint drawing on pc, which saved the date/time and I just located that file. This was from my ground level view, probably 40 feet over and away from the highway, and it was huge, like bigger than a school bus |
