You were lucky to see that bird, can't get any rarer than that.
The Wright Brothers could have staged their first flight inside that thing. The paper was impressed it was coming.

Dateline: Lake Whitney, Austin, Texas
Problem: My house is falling down a cliff. Solution: Set it on fire. Because the only thing cooler than watching a house fall down a cliff, is watching a house fall down a cliff while it's on fire!

I guess I should have found, and used, a better, (read 'not foreign') source. My mistake. Thanks for the correction.

I asked my homeowner's insurance company why they cared if I was on a flood plain or not, since they don't cover flooding. They said, sometimes floods cause fires. I guess cave-ins cause fires too.

North Yorkshire road closed after overturned lorry spills instant mashed potato
North Yorkshire road closed after overturned lorry spills instant mashed potato Part of the A64 was turned into an 'ice rink', police say, as the mashed potato swelled up and caused cars to skid A busy road in North Yorkshire was turned into an “ice rink” after a lorry overturned – spilling its entire load of instant mashed potato. The heavy-goods vehicle crashed at around 3.30pm on Saturday on a section of the A64, North Yorkshire, causing perilous driving conditions as the mashed potato began to swell.. The road was shut down in both directions at the Castle Junction for six hours. North Yorkshire Police Control Room tweeted: "NYP and Emergency Services colleagues dealing with SNOW In June? On #A64...... No its [sic] instant mash potato causing significant road closure." North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service were called to the scene to help clear the spillage from the road. During the spillage North Yorkshire police tweeted: "Sadly the freezing chemicals are not lifting on the A64, despite grit and ploughs. The road remains like an ice rink. "High Powered hoses are being used by fire service but it remains dangerous to road users and is slow going. We will keep you updated with progress" A police spokesman said: "Instant mash is covering the road and cars have skidded as a result of the mash swelling up." The potato was finally cleared off the road hours later and the A64 was fully open at 9.15pm. Daily Telegraph

Obviously, an IRA attack.
They're using mechanical equipment and high pressure water to clear the road, but once the driving surfaces are clean and dry, then what? Just leave the crap on the shoulders and in the drainage ditches to rot? assign a couple clean up crews to clear away the carcasses of the 'tater munching wildlife? This could last awhile.
