Just talked to the doctor last night, and a 50-foot pillar of rock at The Tomahawk in Sedona parted ways with the main formation. It is now a separate small tower - it moved like 6 feet! Rendering one of our mixed lines "Don't Axe Me" (on the Tomahawk, heehee) and one of John Burcham's great routes "Little Big Man" completely gone.
Another one that comes to mind is "The Killer Cracks" at Joshua Tree. The block fell out, leaving a ridiculously hard-looking bouldering problem.
Other stories?

At some point Mickey's Beach in Northern Califonia had a crack that eventually fell into the ocean.
I'll try to find the link to a video of the crack...
But its no longer avaialble for climbinglyness...
Got some hard thing in it's place... Looks to have stabilized rather well since then.

The whole Appalachian Mountain Range fell down, there must have been some awesome routes there a few million years ago.

There used to be two cracks here, to the right of Gunsmoke in Josh, called the Killer Cracks. The left one was good, a fun solo at 5.9. Shortly after the face between them sprouted bolts the entire block toppled forward, face down on the new route, leaving a big alcove. Divine intervention?
Face down in the dirt!
Now there is a hard highball there:

Here's the pic of David on the FA of "Don't Axe Me":
 Missing photo ID#189122
Everything right of the crack is gone. It looks thin here, but thickens around the corner.

The above images show the texas flake boulder. Totally gone, there is no trace of it downstream either. Now that's a f*#king powerful storm.
Wow, thats quite impressive indeed. The proverbial force of nature in action.
