Video captures moment a cliff collapsed along Lake Powell
The video, which was taken by a boater, shows the moment a large rockslide took place in the Lake Powell area. It is unclear what caused this, nor is it clear whether the rockslide had anything to do with drought conditions the lake has been experiencing.
LAKE POWELL, Ariz. - A massive cliff broke off and tumbled into Lake Powell Monday, sending up a towering plume of water and debris.
Steve Carter was boating near the entrance to Warm Creek Bay along the Arizona-Utah border when a large section of the cliff gave way, crashing into the water.
Carter sped away as rock debris and the ensuing wave chased after his boat.
There’s no word yet if there was any specific trigger for the rockfall besides natural process. There are also no reports of anyone injured.
