FactSet #1: A Squirrelly Situation
Ever thought you had a bad Monday morning in New York? Just talk to the electrocuted squirrel who made a huge tie up affecting 47,000 railroad commuters.
According to Metro North spokeswoman Donna Evans, the squirrel was playing around on the power lines. The power was lost and the trains were not leaving out of Manhattan.
Because of the electrical power surge it weakened an overhead bracket. Then the overhead bracket dangled down and was able to strangle a passing train underneath that ended up tearing down the lines. Luckily service was able to be restored by crews by Tuesday morning.

News Story #5
Moeser Lane On Fire In El Cereito
A runaway truck has knocked out the power in El Cerrito and some neighboring cities, including Berkeley and Richmond and caused a fire on Moeser Lane. Ruben Sharma, who lives across from the house where the crash happened, said he was heading back to work at 1:30pm today when he heard the crash. Sharma also said, "First, i thought it was a major earthquake. This is unbelievable."
El Cerrito police Detective Sgt Shawn Maples was among the first rescue workers to arrive at the scene. The 10-wheel hauler over-turned and smashed into a home on Moeser Lane. Sgt Maples said he heard cries coming from the burning truck and house. He was able to grab the driver, who was lodged between the wheels of the truck, to safety with the help from Police Chief Scott Kirklar and Detective Ken Zinc. Maples said "We dragged him out in a heart beat while the truck went up in flames. I just wanted to get him out of there."
Two other vechiles were hit by the over turned truck. There was a sports utility vehicle that apparently had a man and boy inside that had ended up stuck in some shrubbery beside the burning house. The other was a Honda Sedan that was crumpled so terribly that the driver was trapped inside. Rescue workers had to peel back the roof to free the driver out to safety.
The driver of the truck broke both legs in the crash. He's listed in serious but stable condition at John Muir medical center in Walnut Creek.
