US town overrun with tumbleweed after high winds
High winds brought unwelcome visitors to one isolated Californian neighbourhood in the form of hundreds and hundred of tumbleweeds.
A mass invasion by the High Desert's infamous rolling hazards besieged a series of homes in the small US town of Victorville that left some residents calling the city and even 911 for help.
"We have received several calls and we're aware of the problems with tumbleweeds there, primarily in Mesa Street area," Victorville spokeswoman Sue Jones told the Daily Press. "We're not exactly sure how many homes are affected, but we're estimating about 100 to 150 homes in that area."
