Default What is that noise?

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.
It started early though!!!!! Too early for a Saturday morning.

Its a target practice run by the naval fliers. I wont write the word in full because Homeland Security might get me. It is a b*mb run.

Do you know where? We are in Hillsborough and it is loud and clear and has been since shortly after 6. I called the non-emergency Sumter Sheriff about 6:45 and they were going to send someone out. Wouldn't they know if it was military?

I'm going to suggest there are thousands of ducks or people with really bad aim. :-)

It's a 21 gun village salute but we only got one gun and we lost the count.
