Think about that,\u201d the man told Davis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI ran screaming down the road, just so you know, on the beach flailing my arms,\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n<p>Landslide and debris flow warning signs include a faint rumbling sound that increases in volume and is noticeable as the landslide nears, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Unusual sounds, such as trees cracking or boulders knocking together, might indicate moving debris.<\/p>\n<p>Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities spokesman Sam Dapcevich said about 500 cubic yards of material fell to the road from a cliff about 500 feet up the hillside near mile 11 of North Douglas Highway on April 6. Crews immediately responded and cleaned up the slide debris to reopen the highway.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"\/>\n<p>On April 10, a second slide took place at the same location with approximately twice the quantity of material reaching the road, including several car-sized boulders that bounced across the road and over the guardrail, finally landing on the beach or in the water.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur maintenance and operations foreman was there working on cleanup when the second slide came down, and he took action to keep traffic from passing through,\u201d Dapcevich said.<\/p>\n<p>As of Wednesday, both lanes are cleared, but the road will remain closed while geologists monitor the site. A geotechnical team is gathering imagery with a drone as weather conditions allow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/rockslide2.jpeg?w=1024\" alt=\"Arial image of the rockslide.\" class=\"wp-image-21893182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/rockslide2.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/rockslide2.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/rockslide2.jpeg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities said about 500 cubic yards of material fell to the road from a cliff about 500 feet up the hillside.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Alaska Department of Transportation &amp; Public Facilities\/ Facebook<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt was very windy during both slide events, many tree roots are now exposed that appear to have grown in the rock crevices. The wind moving the trees likely jostled the rock and could have been the cause of both slides. There\u2019s still a lot of rock up there that could come down in the future,\u201d Dapcevich said.<\/p>\n<p>Transportation crews will build a catchment area at the base of the slide path to prevent future rockfalls from entering the roadway.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
