My daughter and I pulled into a parking lot for a pub we liked a lot in prep for a football game that my grandson played in. This was in a town about 40 miles from here.
We were about to exit the car when the German's dropped their entire payload of bombs... at least that's what it sounded like. Reedley, the town we were in, has a siren. ONE siren... but it's so loud everyone in town and the countryside can hear it. We were parked right up against one of the tower's leg that the siren was mounted on. I thought it was going to shatter my windshield.
If you're thinking of asking me if it scared the @#$%& out of me don't... dumb question... I damn near @#$%& my pants.... my daughter thought armageddon had begun.
