LUEPP,
Ariz. – It’s not something you see every day on the Navajo
Nation, but a crack in the earth has been forming for a long time now
and no one seems to have a clear answer. It just sits east of
Flagstaff on Luepp Rd and about one mile west of Leupp gas station.
It’s
gotten so big that they had to fenced it in.
According
to the U.S. geological survey, they say earthquakes come and go in
the northern parts of Arizona, which also covers the reservation,
it’s not big enough to rattle down buildings but with the recent
collapse of highway 89 near Page, some local residences wonder what
mother nature has in mind for the vast reservation.
On
March 18, we reached out to the Navajo Nation land and geology
department, they did not have a particular person to give us an
answer, so no one was readily available to explain what that huge
gash was in the earth.
Geologic
event collapses highway
.S.
89 is the main road connecting Page to Flagstaff and the Valley. More
than 120 feet of the highway has sunk nearly 4 feet just south of
Page in the Navajo Nation, according to Dustin Krugel of ADOT. –
