Things that go bump in the night....

Last night around 9 Jimmy and I were watching tv when we hear very loud booms around the apartment. I mean the noises were HUGE. They shook the walls and windows of our apartment. We thought that since we live near a quarry that maybe they were doing explosives that night. But the noises wouldn't stop. They kept going. It was scary.

We both were running to the windows but could see nothing, no flashes, no fire, no toxic plume.

Being in Apex when the EQ chemical plant exploded made us think that the sounds were dangerous and that we should call the police or something. Are the apartments blowing up? Has a gas line erupted. Has another chemical plant blown up? Is the town going down in flames? What is happening!! What do we do????

Well thank goodness we did not call. The sounds that we were hearing were fireworks, not the store bought NC kind either. These were honest to goodness 4th of July style fireworks going off over our apartment complex. The reason why we couldn't see flashes or flickers of light was because they were right over us. Which is also why the apartment was shaking. It may not seem scary but it was. Imagine hearing all of those noises with no explanation of what was happening.

We are not sure where they came from or who was celebrating but please warn someone next time. I expect them during July 4 but not on August 6.

Go to blonde board Anna and Jimmy......
