Is anyone hearing that noise this morning near Collier? It sounds like gunshots or fireworks? It has been going on a good 45 minutes!

Doesn't sound like nail guns, as it isn't the usual pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. It more like pop, pop ..........pop, pop.

No construction nearby - and much louder than nail guns.... Started before sunrise....
