Puppy Buried Alive!



On Thursday afternoon, as Williston cops were destroying evidence to comply with a court order, they heard an animal whimpering, according to a news release from the Williston Police Department.

The sounds appeared to be coming from under the surface of the ground. So the officers carefully started digging, about six-inches down, they found a male puppy about two weeks old.

The puppy,  whose eyes had not opened yet, was taken to the Levy Animal Clinic, where it's being cared for and will be placed in a richly-deserved loving home.
Authorities do not think the puppy had been buried long before being found.

Angry Owls Attack!

Some suburban joggers have recently reported seeing and being attacked by owls, WTOP reports.
  • Laurie Cantillo said she felt a "scraping sensation" on the right side of her head while jogging off Grubb Road in Silver Spring. After shooing the bird away, she did an online search for what she saw and believes it might have been a barred owl.
  • Peter Grace told the Washington Post that he was attacked by a large owl earlier this month along Glen Cove Parkway in Bethesda. He was attacked again the following day and said the bird swooped down on his head three times with its talons.
  • Stuart Kern said an owl came at him "just like a nature program," the Post reported. He was in northwest DC, but he lives in Silver Spring. 
A biologist with DC's department of the environment told WTOP the owls may have mistaken the people's hair for small animals or perhaps felt threatened when one of the joggers moved too close to it.

Iranian News Posts An Onion Story As True

An Iranian news agency picked up — as fact — a story from the paper about a supposed survey showing an overwhelming majority of rural white Americans would rather vote for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad than President Barack Obama. But it was made up, like everything in the just-for-laughs newspaper, which is headquartered in Chicago.
The English-language service of Iran's semiofficial Fars news agency republished the story Friday, several days after it appeared in The Onion.
The Iranian version copied the original word-for-word, even including a made-up quote from a fictional West Virginia resident who says he'd rather go to a baseball game with Ahmadinejad because "he takes national defense seriously, and he'd never let some gay protesters tell him how to run his country like Obama does."

Strange Days Indeed News is now celebrating 50 Walmart Madness posts!  Break out the bubbly! :)




Police have arrested a 57-year-old man wanted since August for allegedly flashing a child at a Walmart store in Sandy.
An unidentified male in a wheelchair was reported to have exposed himself to a 7-year-old girl who was shopping with her mother and grandmother on Aug. 23. A surveillance photo of the man was released by the Sandy Police Department and was published in several media outlets, helping police to track down a suspect.


Steven Norman Powell was arrested Thursday on a warrant issued by the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office charging him with lewdness involving a child, a third-degree felony.
Powell, who pleaded guilty in 1988 to second-degree felony sex abuse of a child in Utah County, is a registered sex offender.

Cop Spots Girl Shooting Heroin - While She Drove





A Dayton Police Department officer was driving Friday afternoon when he pulled up next to a vehicle being driven by 25-year-old Abby Elsner.
As detailed in a police report, the cop noticed that Elsner--who had her arms in the air--was sticking herself with a needle. While doing this, she was steering the 2003 Honda Civic with her knees.

“I observed she was holding her right forearm in plain view where there was a hypodermic syringe needle sticking out of her arm,” reported Officer Mark Orick. “With her left hand, she was manipulating the needle into her forearm.”

The Stick Figure Terrorist

A woman who was about to be released from an Idaho prison will stay behind bars a while longer because federal prosecutors say she mailed a threatening stick figure drawing to a relative.
Linda Joyce Lakes was serving time at the Pocatello Women's Correctional Center on probation violations stemming from a 2007 grand theft sentence, and she was scheduled to be released last Friday. But earlier this month, the U.S. attorney's office charged her with mailing threatening communications, a felony.
Prosecutors say that in 2010, Lakes mailed a drawing that apparently depicted a battered stick figure alongside threatening phrases such as "No tears," ''No hiding," and "No more you."
Kyle Wright, an FBI agent in Pocatello who investigated the case, described the drawing in a court document.
"One stick figure appeared to be lying down with his face smashed. The baseball bat was lying nearby with damage that appeared to be consistent with its use on the first stick figure. The second stick figure appeared to be walking away with a smile," Wright wrote.

The President Donates 90% Of His Salary To The Poor

Lol,  like I was talking about our current president in the states,  or the one before that,  ore the one before that, or the...


"How's this as a man of the people: The president of Uruguay, José Mujica, has earned a nickname, "el presidente mas pobre" (translation: "poorest president").
The 77-year-old recently admitted to the Spanish newspaper El Mundo that he donates almost all of his presidential salary, making him the poorest, or, as Univision pointed out, most generous president, in the world.
El presidente explained he receives $12,500 a month but keeps only $1,250. The public servant told the newspaper, "I do fine with that amount; I have to do fine because there are many Uruguayans who live with much less."
He and his wife—a senator who also donates part of her salary—live in a farmhouse in Montevideo. His biggest expense is his Volkswagen Beetle, valued at $1,945.
Perhaps not surprisingly, under the former guerrilla fighter, who was elected in 2010 as a member of the left-wing coalition, the Broad Front, the country has become known for being one of the least corrupt on the continent.
Mujica has no bank accounts and no debt, and he enjoys one thing money can't buy: the companionship of his dog, Manuela."

Walmart Madness #49! Walmart Gives Fake Money, Won't Reimburse!

<--- A photo of the fake bill,  from News 8.



 Leann Ward used her state assistance Bridge Card in a transaction at Walmart, and received $100 back. But when she tried to use the bill to buy home supplies at the Menards store next door, the cashier detected the bill was counterfeit with a special pen, News 8 reported.
Ward returned to Walmart to exchange the bill for a real one, and the store refused to replace the currency because she had left the building, reports say.
Although the arrival of a Social Security check has eased her budget concerns a bit, she's still worried: "We have to do without now," she told the TV station.

Walmart Madness #48! Clerk Rips Up Womans Money

They ripped up two of her hundred dollar bills!

'The cashier proceeded to rip the $100 bill in half without performing any counterfeit detection tests. The metallic strip in the $100 bill was clearly visible.'
After marking the bill with the detection pen, revealing a yellowish colour across it, Ms Garcia said she explained to the cashier of that colour meaning it was legitimate, having previously worked in retail herself.

The employee proceeded to call a manager over who identified himself as Russell. At this time Ms Garcia said she took out a second $100 bill, which according to her, was immediately taken and ripped up as well by the man.

Detained at the front of the store while told the police had been called, Ms Garcia claims that adding to her humiliation, the employees told curious customers in passing that she was busted trying to use fake money.
After two hours at the front, police arrived around 4.15am and proceeded to inspect the bills in question.
Following a series of tests the first responding officer, identified as Officer Edwards, returned to Ms Garcia telling her that what the Walmart employee and manager had done was a 'terrible mistake.’
'He then approached the manager, who appeared upset by what he was told by Officer Edwards,' according to the complaint.
‘After speaking with Officer Edwards, Manager Russell approached Plaintiff and sarcastically stated that the police officers said the money was not counterfeit, though he disagreed.

‘At this time, he attempted to hand Plaintiff the two torn $100 bills he had misappropriated from her.

Woman Beats Man With His Prosthetic Foot




Brandon Fleming of Okaloosa County said his ex, Jadian Hatfield, came to his home with two men last month and demanded he allow her to take their 2-year-old son, WEAR-TV, Pensacola, Fla., reported Thursday.
Fleming said he wears an easily-detachable prosthetic on his left leg due to suffering an amputation up to his ankle following an accident with a lawn mower when he was 7-years-old.
"I went to the back room to call the law, and I heard my son scream. When I heard him scream I came back and she was pulling him outside the window. I jumped out the window to get my son in the car," Fleming said. "As I jumped in the back of the car, the guys jumped on me. She comes from behind me and my feet hanging out the car and she goes to grab my prosthetics off. And my feet hanging off so she goes to hitting my legs with it. It wasn't like a hitting me all over it's just a hitting me on the legs. I got out of the car and was able to get it from her."
Fleming said the woman then brandished a shotgun, leading him to run back inside his home.
He said deputies were able to find Hatfield and return his son to him.

Naked Bloody Man Chews On Womans Head




A naked, bloody man broke into a home, jumped from a two-story window, tackled a passerby and chewed on her head while "screaming like an animal."
The gory scene unfolded Friday night in Hawley, Pa., 40 miles east of Scranton, where 20-year-old Richard Cimino Jr. allegedly went ballistic on a woman and two officers, Patch reported.
At about 5 a.m., Cimino reportedly drove his car off the road behind some houses in the small town. He stripped off his clothes, then tried and failed to break into a nearby home. He was told to leave, so he fled up the street and broke into another home. This one was vacant. He allegedly jumped from a second-story window.
State Trooper David Aulisio told Patch that Cimino "severely injured his arms and extremities" from the fall, but kept going.
Bleeding heavily, he found two women on the street and tackled one of them. Patch reported that he covered her in his blood. Then he began to "gnaw at [her] head, screaming like an animal," Aulisio said.

Walmart Madness #47! Cops Called On Choir

On the 11th anniversary of 9/11, students from Coconut Palm Elementary in Miramar, Fla., showed up at a local Walmart clad in patriotic red, white and blue, to sing God Bless America as part of an arranged tribute. The 75 young chorus members, ages 7 to 10, were born after the Sept. 11, 2001, attack. But they had learned from their families and teachers the significance of the date and what their singing meant.
The group’s excitement turned to disappointment on Tuesday evening when a Walmart representative refused to honor an agreement allowing the chorus to sing inside the store, according to Coconut Palm Elementary Principal Terri Thelmas.
Thelmas said school staff and parents led the singers outside the store, where they gathered under a nearby flag that was at half-staff. The children performed God Bless America. The group had headed to its cars when police showed up in response to a report of a “flash mob situation.”

Man Gets Attacked With Dirty Underwear!


he Alachua County Sheriff’s Office arrested Johnny Wade Broestler, 46, of 9428 N. County Road 226, and charged him with battery for allegedly attacking Liddell, 60, with a pair of soiled underwear, according to an ASO arrest report.

At about 4 p.m. Saturday, Broestler walked into the camper while Liddell slept and started demanding money for the landlord.
Liddell woke up, and the men started arguing.
The dispute turned physical when Broestler grabbed the dirty underwear and smeared it on Liddell’s face, according to the report.
“The underwear was full of poop, and he was trying to wipe it all over me,” Liddell said Monday.
Liddell then pushed Broestler away and shoved the underwear back in Broestler’s face.
The fight spilled out onto Liddell’s driveway, where a neighbor broke up the dispute, and Liddell called police.
“When the cops came by, he was still covered with the poop,” Liddell said. “He never tried to wash himself to get it off.”

Get Free Sex After Nine Car Washes!

<--- For some reason I thought of the movie "Bad Teacher" :)



Here's an offer that a lot of drivers would have a tough time turning down: free sex after nine car washes.

Police near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, cracked down last week after getting wind of the unique offer from the teaming of a car wash and a massage parlor in the suburb of Sunway Mentari, the Malay Mail reports.

Nine Vietnamese women, ages 18 to 28, believed to be prostitutes were arrested.

Police learned of the unique partnership between the car wash and sex ring when they kept finding car wash loyalty cards in the pockets of alleged customers of the sex ring.

The Mail quotes Emmi Shah Fadhil, the officer in charge of the area's Crime Prevention Division, as saying: "To get the extra 'offer', customers must send their cars for washing nine times within a certain period. The 10th car wash will entitle them to free sex," said Emmi Shah.

The Ogre In The Attic

When most people hear a noise in their attic, they usually suspect a squirrel. On Saturday, one South Carolina woman found a man.
The mother of five says she discovered an ex-boyfriend living in her home in Rock Hill, S.C. on Saturday, Charlotte-based WCNC reported. The man fled the house before police could arrive.
 
The woman thought "there was some poltergeist stuff going on," when she saw nails falling from the ceiling, she told the local Rock Hill Herald newspaper. When she heard strange noises coming from her air vents, the spooked nurse called her nephew, who upon reaching the home and investigating the attic found a sleeping man using old coats for warmth.
 
He also discovered that the man was able to peek at the woman through an air vent that looks into her room. 
 
"It's got me flabbergasted," the woman said to the Herald. "How can you look at someone through an air vent?" 
 
She also told the paper that the man had been struggling with a drug problem since the two had broken up 12 years ago. The woman had last seen him a year ago when he had come to the home to install new doors on the house. He was also convicted of stealing the woman's truck earlier this year and was released two weeks ago after finishing that sentence, according to WCNC.
 
The South Carolina nurse was under the assumption that the man had moved to Charleston after the arrest, which according to the woman was one of many. Instead, he was living inside her attic’s heating unit. Police reported finding cups filled with urine and feces, and the family suspected the man had been sleeping there for weeks.
 
The terrified children who live in the home have been camping in the living room since the incident. The only entrance to the attic from the home is in the hall outside the children's bedrooms.
 
Local police are on the lookout for the man.

Drunk Dozer Driver Destroyed!


 Drink driving is bad enough, but doing it in a digger, in a car park and in front of the other vehicles' owners is not clever.

This Russian bulldozer driver found that out to his cost as he clattered into a series of parked cars and a lorry before grinding to a slow halt.

After swerving from side-to-side and into a line of stationary motors he then tried to correct himself by going the other way - and into the truck.

Then, after finally stopping, a crowd of angry men piled onto his digger, which had a flat tyre, opened the cab to vent their frustration on him.

In a clearly drunken state he's pulled halfway out of the cabin as the men beat him black and blue before finally giving up.

Not Your Ordinary Water Slide



Jeffrey LaPorta traveled more than a quarter of a mile through multiple storm sewer pipes, at times completely submerged water, before finding enough breathing room to await rescue. He was eventually pulled out of the sewer in less than an hour, with only scrapes and bruises.

The teen was riding his bike with a friend on Tuesday through puddles created by the rising creek, which flows near a strip mall parking lot in Parma. He fell into the overflowing water just off the edge of the parking lot and was forced into a drain pipe — roughly 2 feet in diameter, authorities said.
"The water was moving so quickly it sucked him into the drain," said Doug Turner, a spokesman for the Parma Fire Department. "It sucked him in and pulled him probably 100 yards, full of water, where he couldn't take his breath."
The pipe carried Jeffrey underneath the parking lot and into the suburb's storm sewer. He was then shifted into pipes that grew increasingly larger, Turner said. "Now the same amount of water is flowing through there with a little bit bigger of an opening, so his head actually bobs above water a couple times."
The pipes sent Jeffrey under four lanes of traffic, placing him across the street from where he was riding his bike.
At some point, the water became waist-deep, Turner said.
"He's able to grab ahold of something and stop and wedge himself in there," Turner said. "But he's traveled about 1,500 feet from where he initially started."
Jeffrey's friend, Miguel Torres, said he didn't see Jeffrey fall into the water because had his back turned. He turned around and noticed his bike in the creek.
"I heard a splash," Miguel, 13, said in an interview. "I ran over to the creek and started looking for him. ... At first I just thought he was stuck underwater or something. I didn't really think about."
Miguel then got the attention of a city worker, who had just arrived at the parking lot to check out the flooding. The worker contacted authorities, and firefighters from a station across the street from the parking lot headed to the scene.
"I didn't know what to do at first," Miguel said. "If that city official didn't drive by, I don't know what I would have done."
Responders teamed up the city worker and others who had knowledge of the sewer system. Firefighters then began searching for the boy downstream, uncovering at least six manholes and calling out Jeffrey's name before they heard him respond.
"One of the firefighters climbed down into the manhole, started flashing the light around and could see the kid, but he was quite a bit away," Turner said. "He just said, 'Hold on, we're coming to get you.'"
Jeffrey was pulled to safety and taken to a hospital, where he received six stitches on his elbow, Turner said. He was released that evening.
The teen was out of the sewer 43 minutes after authorities got the call — and 20 minutes of that time, they knew he was safe.
"It's a miracle that the kid was even alive, let alone hardly hurt at all," Turner said.
Multiple messages left at Jeffrey's home were not returned. But the teen described his ride to ABC's "Good Morning America" on Thursday.
"It was dark, it was scary, it was nasty," Jeffrey said. "It was like somebody is putting you in a big whirlpool and spinning you around and getting your head knocked on the ground."
He said after he had enough room, he took a deep breath and was determined not to give up. He was relieved when he saw the firefighter's flashlight.
"In my head I'm like, 'Thank you, Lord.' I was praying," Jeffrey said. "I'm a little bruised up, but I'm lucky to be alive."

The Caturday Report! Kitten Rides 100 Miles In Car Bumper

A woman says a 6-week-old kitten hitched a ride on the outside of her vehicle as she drove about 100 miles over upstate New York roads.
Stacey Pulsifer tells the Press-Republican of Plattsburgh (http://bit.ly/Q4LJeX ) that she recently drove from her home in Plattsburgh to Elizabethtown in the Adirondacks, then back to her apartment. Along the way she stopped for coffee and heard meowing coming from her Jeep.
She asked two friends to help her search the vehicle. They finally found the kitten wedged behind a bumper and had to cut it free.
Pulsifer has since adopted the hitchhiker and named it Pumpkin. She estimates the lucky black cat was lodged in the car for about 22 hours and traveled some 100 miles. She suffered a broken paw during the ride.

Walmart Madness #45! Teens Fake Arrest To Steal




Police went to a Walmart in the 1600 block of Northwest St. Lucie West Boulevard about 3:25 a.m. Monday following a report of an "unknown male in plain clothes, with a gun on his hip, arresting another male in the parking lot."
Police apprehended the teens at a nearby Friendly's restaurant after they ran from a Walmart store manager.
Investigators found a badge in a wallet and a set of toy handcuffs on the 17-year-old boy, while the younger teen had several packages of playing cards. Police recovered a pellet gun in the area where one of the boys was thought to have discarded something resembling a gun.
The teens told police they walked to Walmart to take the items. They also said they planned a "fake arrest" to avoid being caught.
The Walmart manager said the elder teen approached with a holstered gun on his hip and asked her to "make a page for him." Master Sgt. Frank Sabol, police spokesman, said Tuesday that was an apparent reference to paging someone via the store's intercom.
The Walmart manager told police she asked whether the teen was a law enforcement officer, and he quickly showed her a badge. The Walmart manager said she needed to see identification first and saw the elder teen put handcuffs on the younger teen.
She saw both teens walk to a vehicle where the elder teen took the handcuffs off the other teen. She followed them as she dialed 911.
After the teens saw her following, the elder teen put the cuffs back on the younger teen and approached another vehicle.
The Walmart manager said when the teens realized she was going to keep following them, the elder teen took the cuffs off and both teens ran.

The theft was discovered during a routine inventory check last week at the St-Louis-de-Blandford warehouse, where the syrup is being held temporarily. The Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, which is responsible for the global strategic maple syrup reserve, initially kept the news quiet, hoping it would help police solve the crime quickly.


About 10 million pounds of syrup was stored at the site, at a value of more than $30-million.
Anne-Marie Granger Godbout, executive director of the federation, said the organization is still trying to determine how much is missing and declined to offer an estimate. But a spokesman from the Sureté du Québec said the loss was significant.
“We know that it’s millions of dollars that was stolen,” said Sergeant Richard Gagné. “It’s a very large amount.”
All of the maple syrup inventories are fully insured, according to the federation, so there will be no loss to producers.
Ms. Granger Godbout said the theft shouldn’t put the global supply of maple syrup at risk, but warned it could allow the thief to undercut legitimate producers. The federation represents about 10,000 maple syrup producers in Quebec. “Obviously those people stole the maple syrup to sell it somewhere,” she said. “If it’s a big volume, it could be very harmful for the maple syrup industry. The companies that are working in this industry will have to compete with some company that didn’t pay for the maple syrup.”

Killer Clown Invasion!

In the middle of a hot, rainy night in July, a man and woman lying in bed heard a knock at the door.
It was 2:55 a.m. on July 12, on a quiet stretch of suburban road in Boca Raton, when Sarah Pastor got out of bed, walked through the apartment on Palms Way and opened the door. What she saw next could have been ripped from a low-budget Hollywood thriller:
A person in a "Killer Clown" mask and black skeleton T-shirt towered over her, flanked by two men toting crow bars.
The masked man, later identified by police as 39-year-old Sherard Ali, peeled back the clown face and showed his own to the scared woman at the door.

"Get out of the house," he told Pastor, who later told deputies she knew the man. that Ali lifted his mask so she wouldn't be scared.
Pastor then ran away. The men rushed inside, through the apartment and to the bedroom where Pastor had been in bed with 56-year-old Jeffrey Zimmer, who is currently serving a 3-year probation for burglary and assaulting an elderly person in Broward County.
The men grabbed Zimmer and wrapped his head with a bed sheet. They bound his hands and feet together with plastic zip ties. They threatened to kill him.
They went to the bedroom closet.
There, Zimmer had bolted a large Magna safe to the floor.
Inside: 120 Klonopin prescription pills, 6 Movado watches worth $5,000 and a brown, leather wallet holding $240 cash and credit cards.
The men used the crow bars and busted the bolts. They then grabbed the safe and dashed through the apartment and out the house. A getaway vehicle was parked out front, and the men loaded the safe and took off.
When Zimmer freed himself from the plastic ties, he called police.
But the men were long gone.

Jesus Vs. Ronald McDonald




While being hauled to its new home at the Solid Rock Church in Monroe, the 50 foot tall statue of Jesus was trapped as it was being driven through a McDonalds drive-thru. One outstretched arm of the statue caught on a statue of Ronald McDonald causing it to shift, stand semi-upright and lodge between a drive thru window and a McDonaldland Playland.


“It was the loudest, craziest, most disturbing thing I have ever seen,” said McDonald’s employee Darren Bick. “One minute I’m typing an order into the computer, the next minute there is a thunderous noise, the building shakes, and the face of Jesus is pressed staring at me through my drive thru window. I’m going to have nightmares. If I ever sleep again.”

The driver of the truck had attempted to maneuver the vehicle through, despite turns that were obviously too tight and a warning sign indicating that he did not have enough clearance. “I know I should have just parked and gone inside,” said driver Fred Holland. “But I truly thought I was going to make it. I don’t know what it was. I think that I just had this feeling that, with him, all things are possible.”

Man Kills Wife's Puppies

Michael J. Hoyt, 44, of 866 N. New State Road, is charged with two counts each of domestic violence and animal cruelty. Norwalk Assistant Law Director Scott Christophel said after Hoyt shot the dogs, he pointed the handgun at his wife and threatened to harm her Wednesday night.
"I don't believe there was any physical harm (to her). I think there was some shoving," Christophel said.
Huron County Sheriff's Capt. Ted Patrick said Hoyt denied pointing the handgun at his wife, "but that's what she's alleging."
Sheriff's dispatchers received a 9-1-1 call at 7:08 p.m. about a domestic dispute at Hoyt's home. Christophel said it started out as a "verbal altercation," but declined to elaborate. Patrick said Hoyt's wife confronted her husband about a suspected extramarital affair, Hoyt became upset, went outside and shot the two white Yorkie puppies.
Three deputies responded and reported they arrested the suspect and transported him to the Huron County Jail without incident. Prior to the deputies' arrival, Hoyt had unloaded the gun and left it on the porch, Patrick said.
"When they arrived, he was sitting on the tailgate of his pickup truck," Patrick said.
Hoyt was released later after posting a $5,000 bond.
Norwalk Municipal Court Judge John Ridge issued a temporary protection order while the case is pending. Christophel said that means Hoyt must stay at least 500 feet away from his wife. Court records indicate Hoyt is prohibited from having any communication or association with his wife, isn't allowed at 866 N. New State Road or his wife's place of employment.

Stapler Vs. Pruning Sheers!

Police in Bellingham, Wash., say a gas station clerk with a hammer stapler chased away a burly would-be robber armed with pruning shears.
The Bellingham Herald reports ( http://is.gd/GWwQF9) that police released photos Thursday of the Aug. 20 robbery attempt. They show a 6-foot-tall, 200-pound man wearing a black ski mask walking into Starvin' Sam's.
That's where the intruder ran into David Kassner, a retired Army staff sergeant who served in southeast Asia and was working the graveyard shift.
The robber demanded money but Kassner refused. When the masked man grabbed the cash register and tried to take the whole thing, the clerk grabbed a nearby hammer-style stapler and swung it at the man's head. Kassner missed that target but says he must have made contact because the man ran off empty-handed, clutching his wrist.
Police spokesman Mark Young says police dogs tried to track the man but didn't find him.

Franco said he went downstairs to tell the driver that it was getting too hot.
"It was very hot. Everybody was dancing. Two, five minutes I was downstairs," he said. "Then I heard two guys screaming, `Oh, my God, oh, my God."'

Walking To A Gas Leak With Lit Cigarettes, Guess What..

Alvarado, 58, was helping a friend move furniture out of the complex's basement when, authorities say, they bumped into and possibly broke a gas valve.A woman from Progress Energy happened to be auditing the building's electrical use at the same time. She smelled gas and insisted the men get away from the basement.
The men, both carrying lit cigarettes, walked back toward the building.
"She begged them not to go," said Jerry Burns, who lives across the street. "They didn't listen.
"As soon as they touched that sidewalk — boom — both of them fell back," Burns said. "It was like something from the sun blew up. It was one big ball of fire."
Alvarado, his right arm ablaze, stumbled across the street and collapsed in a parking lot. The other man, whose name was not available, was also burned, though not as severely.
After the explosion, he sat in the parking lot, still holding his cigarette.
