HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) - A U-Haul manager in Virginia was in for a slithery surprise when she opened a rental truck's door to find a 2-3-foot python on the vehicle's floor. Using social media, Virginia's Wildlife Management and Control team learned the reptile was someone's pet from Newport News."We didn't even think it was alive," said Management and Control's Richard Perry. "It was frozen." Latest numbers released on disease claiming lives of Virginia deer Wildlife crews determined it was a non-venomous python - a species not native to central Virginia. The wildlife team spent all night working to revive the creature."We didn't even think it would make it through the night," Perry said. "It was in very, very bad shape."Virginia Wildlife Management and Control was called to the rescue around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday after the ball python was found in the passenger side of the cab.

It's planned to be built on part of thousands of newly-purchased pasture and farmland in the county, according to the report. That's near sites for the Boring Company and Space X.

Jared Bednar on Avalanche’s recent losses to playoff teams: “We’ve got to want it more than we want it right now.”

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:39:19 GMT

The Avs are officially inside of 20 regular-season games remaining, and their record still doesn’t completely show that they’re one of the NHL’s most talented teams.They’re seven points back of the Central division lead with two games in hand — meaning three points back of Dallas in a best-case scenario.There’s little to no concern among players in the Avalanche locker room or among hockey watchers in the general public that Colorado is a playoff team with Stanley Cup potential. Yet the Avalanche (35-22-6) are also only five points ahead of Calgary, the first team outside of the Western Conference playoffs.More alarming than the playoff race itself at this point is what happens once Colorado gets there. The Avs’ recent stretch raised concerns, even with coach Jared Bednar, after four consecutive losses when facing teams in the playoff picture.“It should bother all of us,” Bednar said bluntly after a 5-2 loss to the Kings on Thurs...

Southern California hit with more rain; NWS warns of possible flooding

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:39:19 GMT

Yet another storm is hitting Southern California on Friday, and though there won't be nearly as much snow as two weeks ago, rain presents its own dangers.Steady rain is expected Friday and Saturday, prompting the National Weather Service to warn of possible "significant road/urban & small stream flooding." Interactive Storm Coverage “It won’t be one of those cold, wintery storms,” said KTLA Meteorologist Kaj Goldberg. “But nonetheless, we will see measurable rainfall.” The issue could be compounded by the relatively warmer rain falling on snow that has already amassed in San Bernardino County and other mountain communities in Southern California. The additional precipitation is likely to melt some of the snow, creating even more runoff, and in some cases, the rain might make the snow atop buildings even heavier, increasing the likelihood of roof collapse.With the ground already saturated from previous storms, the NWS warned the public to pro...
