Binocular observation Tuesday morning of suspected natural from the Nov 3/4 storm. The north half east aspect regular performer in Simpsons ran, mostly to the tline bench but some debris may have run farther. The south half N aspect regular performer was not visible from town, unsure if it also ran. Smooth bed surface, did not run to ground.
