WASHINGTON - They're not on a plane, but snakes in a tree could still be scary -- especially when they're spotted in D.C.
DCist says an email in an Adams Morgan Yahoo Group by a D.C. police sergeant discussed snakes falling out of trees at Walter Pierce Park in Northwest.
The posting was reported by the website PoPville and reads:
"On Thursday, May 23, 2013 around 11:40am a call came in about a couple of snakes that fell out of the trees. When the snakes fell they scared the children, and everyone fled. This was in the playground area. I responded but found no snakes. I caught one small enough to fit inside an empty water bottle I had. It was probably a black rat snake. They are indigenous to trees and the warm weather is drawing them out."

Oh wow!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sensational piece of useless info that was!
You make it sound like the place was swarming with snakes!
I normally love reading your emails, but I don't what is happening here.

There is something going on! My area in N.C. has warned people to watch for snakes due to the many bites already this year. I also heard a report that Iraq has already lost 60 people to snake bites within a 2 Month period. Snakes are not the only underground creatures coming out in swarms, there are the termites and locusts also. This makes me curious about just what exactly is taking place within the Earth or is it due to all the earthquakes taking place globally.
