Another rock slide in Tennessee

Yellow Jacket · 11-12-2009, 08:35 PM

A couple of weeks ago there was a big rock slide in eastern Tennessee which closed down I-40. I believe they are still working on clearing that. Heard that it may take 3 or 4 months.

This morning on US 64/SR 40 just east of Cleveland, TN near Ocoee they had another one.

Might want to be careful riding up there!

Dang...that was pretty scary, but impressive.

Sometimes it just simply pays to be lucky!!!

I have always wondered what a "slide" like that would have looked like when it happens... now I know. Wow.

Neat vid to see would not want to be riding a long there when it happened.

Yep we went thru last week by routing around to the north also.

I watched the one on 64 locally here on the news. That one looked to be pretty bad.
