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.
Just to clarify, I don’t think any married man has an ego problem.
Dune buggies ruined a good car, as far as I was concerned. When it comes to VWs, I’m a purist!
I’d have said, “Good gravy! We’ve been talking nonstop gay for over 2 years now. Don’t you guys get tired of making the whole country focus on you and your self-esteem issues?”
But she’s a teacher in a NYC school so she has to be more careful.
Can I get a lawn tractor that looks like a VW Bus?
Actually, those would probably make him rich.
I can’t either.
I only drive cars.
I learned to drive on my dad’s three-speed Ford 150 pickup, WAY back, when, and the truck I’m driving now is a five-speed, plus it has 4-wheel drive. I’m much more comfy in a manual-shift car.
But the automatics are more popular because they were actually designed “for women.” If the designers had asked me, I would have told them to leave the standard-shift alone! LOL!
Yes, it is the way they see us...
See? I’m sorry to sound ugly, but I don’t understand women. I’ve never tried to “change” a man because it always backfires. If they have any incentive, they will change on their own.
My biggest mistake is that I have never known how to choose a man, because my own father was absent for so many of my formative years. He found a job in Wyoming and my mother refused to follow him there with the family.
I’ve never understood that, but I managed to survive. I’m still looking for the Handsome Prince that the frog is supposed to turn into.
LOL!
I’ve tried. I’ve taken classes. I just couldn’t get it.
William’s taken and I understand Harry is looking across the pond.
They might be handsome princes, but they’re still men with all that implies.
As I am sure you can attest, if you find someone who is faithful count your blessings. He probably doesn’t have any more faults than you do.
I haven’t seen Sparta kitty in eons! Hurray! My first viral kitty video.
I will try to remember that, next time I visit Tax-chick and the Chicklets. (I’m a white knuckle flyer...)
That’s why automatic transmissions were invented...a lot of women just could not get the coordination to work for them. There’s no shame in it, for sure!
At may age, even someone five years younger than me would be robbing the cradle. However, at my age, most of the men are set in their ways, or have more health problems than I do, and neither is an option for me. So I’m not looking. Nor am I in the market to look.
See above.
Bubbles kitty. Love love love
Oh it’s number 2075
