Kites Endanger Power Lines In Cedar Rapids
High voltage lines near Cedar Rapids were put at risk by kite strings after spring winds. A 14 000 volt feeder shorted on Thirty second Street near the Collins plant and damaged a street light circuit, darkening parts of northeast Cedar Rapids. No injuries confirmed though a boy may have fallen or been shocked. Officials warn kite fliers to avoid wires on two pole structures to prevent further outages. Additionally a probate notice for Mabel Booth appears in Linn County District Court with proceedings set for March 8.
