Always gut the crab and throw away the "butter" (guts) prior to cooking. When whole crab are cooked in liquid, domoic acid may seep into the cooking liquid and then into the meat. Throw away the cooking liquid, and do not use it in other dishes, such as sauces, broths, soups, stews, stocks, roux, dressings, etc. It is recommended you do not eat the 'butter' (guts) of the crab.

From above you can get a good scale of how massive this quarter mile long slide is and how much land moved down the embankment. Metric tons of dirt needs to be removed to access the road, if there’s a road left under that?

Aerial drone footage shows the magnificent size of the hwy 229 landalide in Siletz. The recent Siletz landslide is described as "massive," blocking a quarter-mile of Oregon 229, destroying three homes, and being one of the largest ODOT has seen, with officials calling it "pure devastation," though precise volume measurements aren't specified in initial reports, only its a huge impact and potentially a multi-month closure.
