My wife and I noticed the same while on top of Unicorn today. Just checked the Rainier blogspot but no word on it yet...

Edit: Found some real time video and photos of the incident on CC.

Looked like more had come down when we were up there today than we had seen Saturday; lots of noise of rock/ice fall Saturday, but hard to pin point.

The climbing blog just addressed it. They have declared that it has been three seperate large rock/icefall events up to this point. The amount of area covered in debris as seen from the webcam has increased by about double since TobyT's original post.
