Falling Rock

We've all seen these signs as we drive south on I-75 through Kentucky and Tennessee. Watch for Falling Rock. If you're like me, you never really give them a second thought. However, rock slides are way more common than we realize (why do you think they they put up signs?)

Last week a rock slide closed I-75 in Campbell County, Tennessee (Near Jelico). It is supposed to keep the interstate closed for several weeks. It really is scary to think of humongous boulders tumbling down onto your car. The photo below is not the rockslide in Tennessee, but it certainly drives home the message. Watch for falling rock indeed!
