PALISADE, Colo.- A remarkable rockslide near Palisade was caught on camera Thursday.

Drivers heading westbound on Interstate 70 had a small scare around 5:30 p.m., when a boulder slid down the side of the mountain creating a huge cloud of dust.

The man who witnessed the rockslide, Larry Eklund, described the site as if "a bomb had went off."

Fortunately, the boulder did not fall onto I-70. It broke into smaller pieces while tumbling down the mountain.

Really? Only ONE man witnessed it? All those other cars and residents in the area are women?
