Photo of the Day: Bouncing Boulders of Bedlam II

Several years ago I posted about a boulder damaging property in southern Utah.  Well today KSL has a story about another incident:



 "A St. George woman got a rude awakening early Saturday morning when a giant boulder crashed through her bedroom wall.

Witnesses told the St. George Spectrum it was about 3 a.m. when the 12-by-9 foot boulder broke loose and rolled down the hill from Foremaster Ridge, crashing into a home located at 1681 E. 50 North Circle."

Unfortunately, this time the owner was injured and required surgery.  We should always remember to build our homes with geologic hazards in mind.
