There was a huge landslide on Hwy 14 this weekend just up Cedar Canyon from Cedar City. We were all there for the BMW MOA Fall Colors just a few weekends ago!
Here's a link to an article and photos but frankly the photos don't do it justice based on other photos I've seen on Facebook. From the FB photos it looks like at least 1/4 mile or so of the canyon road is completely washed away by several hundred feet down the hill; it's not just a matter of debris falling on the road.
With snow already on the ground it's going to be tough job to reopen it by Spring.

You may be able to see better photos if you find my FB page.
