Thank you for providing context. I have been up to Johnson’s lake and had no idea there was a landslide there.

Honestly I was expecting a bear to come flying after them not a damn landslide lmao

If you look in the background as they’re running up to the boat you can see some of the trees just sort of floating to the right

I thought trees were going to get sucked in some water whirlpool.
R
I was expecting them to be pulling a tree over using the boat and then something happened where the tree almost landed on the boat.
