The cause of an early morning fire north of San Diego was an electrocuted bird falling from an active power line
A bird carrying a snake in its talons struck power lines north of San Diego, sparking a hillside fire just west of The Merge.
San Diego Police arrived to the location on Dunhill Street near the intersection of Interstates 5 and 805 just before 6 a.m.
Flames were burning very close to businesses including the General Atomics building, officials said.
Officers called in San Diego Fire-Rescue crews who contained the fire within an hour.
Fire officials initially told NBC 7 a bird with a snake in its mouth was electrocuted on a power line and fell to the ground, sparking the fire. A photo released by officials later shows the snake in the hawk's grasp.
"A hawk that hit the high voltage power line, caught fire, and fell to the ground," SD Fire-Rescue spokesperson Lee Swanson said in a written release.
There were no structures damaged and no evacuations ordered.
This area of San Diego is home to many companies in the region's biochemical industry.
When my brain is impeded, I find that reading the Bible out loud helps. Especially the Spanish version, because that requires concentration.
I spend 20 minutes with Scriptures every day but none of them are in Espanich.
I was going to go to Walmart and get some yogurt (I’m out) and checked the EBT balance and it says “Zero dollars and zero cents,” so I won’t be getting the yogurt.
I hate this.
I check that google thingie about once a week to see if there’s an obituary for my son posted anywhere.
Text one of them that you really hit it big in the lottery and sit back and wait.
Oh, that's easy. Get down to the voter registration office and register as a Democrat.
Within 30 seconds you won't remember how to form a coherent thought.
If you want the neighbors to be more neighborly just ask one of them how to get blood out of whatever your flooring is made out of. They’ll check in just to make sure they’re not on your list.
Someone published a Bible in spinach?
Popeye would be so happy.
Serious thunder storm rolld through last night. My phone even did one of those EBS sounds to tell me of a flash flood warning throughout the city. Between that and the dog not liking thunder storms I’m a little groggy this morning.
Kathleen is refusing to “go.” We have to leave for the pool before long.

I’m tired, too, even though I slept until 6:30. The cats were fighting at some point.
Veni, vidi, visa
I came, I saw, I shopped...
My commute is blocked by flood debris...
Thanks!
I found four dollars in the bottom of my purse and got four yogurts. I had to run the Gauntlet in order to get to the dairy case, and all they had in the flavors I will eat was in the 100 calorie packages, but I got them.
It seems yogurt is the “big meal” of the day, these days.
And thanks again! My sister’s last name translates from the Czech into “Peacock.” Fantastic, that!
OHNOES! No alternative routes?
I am so sorry. At least my kids show up on Facebook periodically, so I know they are both alive.
{{{ArGee}}}
Yes, and I’m trying to decide to take one, (or should I mosey down the now one open lane and rubberneck?)
By some irony, my normal escape route is under water!
Too late. I registered as a Republican because there was no other choice. At least, that I was willing to vote under.
GLK is really working hard for me, even with not much sun coming in the window. Still, I appreciate his efforts and promise to take any and all good luck that comes in the door...
