This photo of a wayward hot air balloon seen floating Wednesday morning over Interstate 215 just north of Scott Road in Menifee was submitted by Patch reader John Seed.

An art professor at Mt. San Jacinto College, Seed told Patch he snapped the photo at 9:08 a.m. Wednesday.

"It was safely hauled to a landing by some handlers just as I got off the freeway, but was a distraction for motorists on both sides of the 215," Seed told Patch.

This couldn't possibly happen in a worse place, given the proximity to the freeway, high school, and…Read More numerous businesses. UGH! The following is the press release from MPD: On 05-21-13, at 3:27 AM, the Murrieta Police Department received a call of a water-main break in the area of California Oaks Road and Monroe Avenue. Murrieta Police and Murrieta Fire Department initially responded to the scene and discovered a large sinkhole in the westbound lanes of California Oaks Road just west of Jackson Avenue. The sinkhole was approximately 4 feet deep and about 20 feet across. The hydraulic pressure from the water-main break appears to have created this sinkhole and damaged all the westbound lanes of California Oaks from approximately Jackson to Monroe. As a result, the westbound lanes of California Oaks between Jackson and Monroe will be closed for repair until further notice. Rancho Water Officials estimate that these repairs will take approximately one week to complete. When traveling in this area please expect delays and plan an alternate route in order to arrive at your destination on time.

Was it taken down by the blog author? I realize you guys have made a lot of changes so I'm still not sure if there are bugs being worked out or if some thing else is going on. Any help would be appreciated.
