Notes

Photos taken 6/10/24 around 1pm. Wet slab in Republic Creek south of Cooke. I estimate 10-20’ deep and 1000’+ wide. The past 5-6 days have been warm, and previous night there was steady rain all night into the mid morning, so not out of the question that it happened within 24 hrs, likely within the last 1-3 days.
