How's your weather and climate stuff today thread

[Keith Webb]

BTW ... I had just crawled back into bed to get some sleep when I heard, LOUD and close by, what sounded like gunshot (I doubt it was fireworks!!!) ... a few moments later a bit farther away I heard 2 more close together but the last one a bit farther away sounding ... so I called the cops (RCMP detachment takes care of this town as there are no "city cops") The woman took my report and sounded like she was typing up a storm as I talked. I tried describing the sounds. I told her I wasn't 100% positive it was gunshot but felt pretty sure they were. I would rather it be fireworks and maybe they were? The woman was glad I called and told me they sent someone out right away ... so ... that little adrenalin rush got me up again so here I be. This reminds me how often helicopters have been flying low over here the last couple of days and I've been thinking they're probably looking for someone, so fireworks or gunshot, I'm glad I called ... just in case. I called pretty soon after hearing this and they had no other calls at that point ... normal people are sleeping though LOL
That was less than half hour before I logged in here.

We've had Black Hawk helicopters buzzing past our house at low level for much of this evening - the only lighting is the red nav light. They're doing some sort of exercise. I looked on it as an impromptu personal airshow so it's nice to see the taxes at work from my own abode.

I hope the Mounties get your baddie - don't they always get their man?
