The lady better be careful in case the hawk may have acquired a taste for little old ladies over snakes.
But still…
Jones herself is certain that she was the beneficiary of God’s intervention. While it’s true that the hawk was the one that dropped the snake in the first place, it could have given it up for a loss. Instead, it was willing to fight for that snake, and it was the fight that saved Jones from a worse outcome than a bloodied arm.
All I can say is that everything is bigger and, possibly, weirder in Texas.
This sounds more like a freak accident.
the Lord works in mysterious ways... this one not so mysterious, praise the Lord anyway.
Sounds like the hawk was taking the snake to its nest and accidentally dropped it and came down out of the sky to retrieve it.
I wonder what kind of snake it was.
Last week, I encountered a 4.5 foot long cottonmouth just outside of my shop. Nothing unusual about that since we live in the boonies. Normally, the snakes just head off in another direction and I let them be. This one showed no signs of being willing to play nice, though. So I grabbed my 410, chambered a shell and sent it to it’s maker. Blew it’s head clean off. Problem solved.
the hawk dropped its lunch
and went back to retrieve it
The bad luck has to be equal to winning a lottery.
I’ve lived around farms for 1/2 my life and never even heard of a snake falling on someone’s arm while they were mowing and wrapping around it attacking apparently.
Much less a large hawk then diving onto the same mentioned limb.
Dare we call this BS? I mean people have faked weirder things.

“””a woman attacked by a snake that fell from the sky was saved by a hawk”””
I call BS on Andreas’ version of this story.
When I read the earlier reports, it seemed obvious that the hawk dropped the snake, the snake fell on the woman’s are, and the hawk went to retrieve their snake.
Sung to the tune of Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head…..
Poison snakes keep falling on my arm
But that doesn’t mean they’ll soon be causing harm
Got glasses on my face
Those poison snakes keep falling on my arm they keep falling
But there’s one thing I know
The snakes that come to greet me won’t defeat me
Hawk is swooping down for lunch
Those poison snakes keep falling from the sky they keep falling
“of course, that hawk was not going to give up its prey, so it naturally returned to recover it”
One might say the hawk giveth, and the hawk taketh away.
After reading this I have one thought. How much does it cost to get my lasn mowed by a service?
It’s the kind of help we should expect from a crucified Lord.
She needed a little help from Samuel Jackson.......
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MFING SNAKES ON THIS MFING MOWER!
The lady better be careful in case the hawk may have acquired a taste for little old ladies over snakes.
99% chance the snake fell out of the hawk’s clutches and the hawk was merely retrieving its prey. Its not a miracle just a freakish incident.
Hawks love a snake... probably accidentally dropped it and went down to retrieve it.
I had a hawk tangled in some of that bird netting out back and I was going to try to get him out of it but he broke out himself and when I went over to where he was he was chewing on this snake that was caught on in The netting as well.
Well I worked the dead snake out of the netting and I took it over to this ditch and the hawk was watching me the entire time from a low branch on a beech tree.
I went back towards the house to do something I came back and there was the hawk in the ditch finishing off that snake he had a good meal.
Needless to say I no longer use that netting anymore because I lost two black snakes in it in one year, to be honest I didn’t put the netting up to begin. My ex put it up to keep the deer off of the small bushes that she had planted.
The back story on the hawk was there was a rehabilitator up the street at one time and she had nursed this Hawk back to health and the hawk stayed in the neighborhood. It’s a red shoulder hawk.
He’s not afraid of people, he sort of hangs around and I’ve approached him on several occasions he’s very comfortable in the neighborhood.
Everybody knows the backstory and the lady who did rehabilitate him has since moved but the hawk is kind of like our neighborhood hawk, so that’s probably why he sat there on that branch and watched me take the snake away from the entangling netting and place it in a ditch where he could get back to it.
I like how the headlines says, “attacked by a snake that fell from the sky.” Yeah, snakes (who don’t have wings and aren’t lighter than air) just fall out of the sky... Happens all the time...
Not to be ungrateful, but she should pray that Jesus keeps hawks from dropping snakes on her in the first place!
