Here is a funny non story locally [View all]

And I wish I was much closer...balloon down in residential neighborhood.

If you are anywhere near 13183 ave del general, in North County, it's near Ted Williams, you might have a photo, unique photo.

I am betting a few nooz crews are on the way though.

Oh update 13 passengers extricated safely, one minor injury, and local utility on the way. Yup, wish I was that much closer. If nothing else, for the photo.
