There is nothing like being woken up to the sound that a bomb went off right on your front step! I don't know why there is such a vast difference of the way artillery sounds/feels but sometimes I can barely hear it than other times I'm pretty sure they are landing in my front yard.
My house shakes, my ears ring, and the loud ones startle me still! I could have swore I was told they have time restrictions but apparently I was wrong, or we have some rule breakers because Ive been woken up before 5am, and heard it after midnight!
As annoying as the noise is, it oddly makes me feel comforted too...you know, just like the saying for the jets...
"Pardon our noise, it's the sound of freedom"
Before the El Toro base was decommisioned, the Blue Angels used to practice over my house on a regular basis. Irony: when they left? It seemed strangely quiet.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the artillery, though!
