1. My dear Ptah!
Quite a story!

I'm happy they're keeping an eye on the geology of the place...

And that no one was hurt...

:hi:

4. Yosemite Hotel Reopens After Boulders Strike
Storied Yosemite hotel reopens after rock avalanches forced evacuation

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=8439882

Yosemite's historic Ahwahnee Hotel has reopened following
rockslides that forced its evacuation.

Park geologists have been monitoring a cliff towering over
the building to make sure the danger of further slides has passed.

A rockslide Wednesday sent large boulders crashing down on the
hotel's parking lot. There were no injuries but officials
evacuated all 300 guests as a precaution.
