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.
Naaah.
Let him wonder some more.
I'm sure he will endure enjoy his time there. Actually, time will seem to stand still...
OK.
Does anyone have a copy of that disclaimer we sign in case his head explodes?
We wanted to make you aware that you will soon be receiving some very important information regarding your health insurance billing process
So I'm thinking there's no WAY this is going to go well if they have to alert me that they'll be telling me something.
It won’t matter. The Dust Bunnies will mop up the pickings so even the Zombies and the Dwarves will only have to remove the what’s left of the body.
That’s doesn’t sound good. Wear your best armor before you open the envelope.
That’s what I was thinking. Except that after 3 years of Obamacare envelopes my best armor is much the worse for wear.
If we’re switching to that billing company that uses the rotating knives I’m not gonna be happy.
Hey...good to see you Dale.
How you keeping?
I’ve always loved that joke! LOL!
That’s because we didn’t go to NY state. :)
Waddup, Moosie?
I could throw a title on that, lol.
Lego?
Howdy, ‘Face.
In desperation, I will try Chrome, though I have avoided that like the plague. Nothing I have done has allowed the Flash Player, and I really need it.
As for passwords, so many sites have such different requirements that I have a notebook full of URLs and the matching passwords. I can’t remember them from site to site. And I hate being locked out of a site for 24 hours.
Flying Dunce Caps!!!
It’s nice and warm here, at 100, with 9% humidity and E @ 2 mph. (My Celsius converter isn’t working today for some reason.) This is MY kind of weather!
I’m like a lizard on a rock!
33C and as happy as can be!
There is rain near San Bernadino, so keep a look out. :)
We hit an earth shattering 26c today.
The DSNY Commissioner visited today. Of course that meant we had to clean the place up so that it looks like nobody works here. But we got pizza so that was good.
She came on a pretty hot day (for us). They’re actually opening up the cooling centers for those who pay rent over A/C bills (which is a lot of us but not the ArGee family).
Having been raised in Mickey Mouse Town and having spent 11 years in Houston, TX it’s hard to call 92 degrees with 38% humididididididity (I have trouble with that word) and a 14 mph breeze hot.
