Rachel Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 for a pipe bomb. And no, I don't live in a big city.........I live in a "town".....we don't even have enough people to qualify as a city and just recently retained town status.......20,000 people and the nearest "city" is a half hour away. One street up (which here is about 200 feet) there was a pipe bomb in the middle of the road. I have 9 teenagers at my house for a 4th party........we were going to go to the races tonight and my husband is trying to get home but they won't let anyone through. So, I now have 9 teenagers staying indefinitely at my home on the 4th of July.........no races............no husband This is on the heels of being evacuated for 3 days because of the fires in Nor Cal Brother!!!!! This certainly qualifies as the worst summer ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senunk Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Oh, Rachel, what a bummer! Maybe it is just a firework and not a pipe bomb? Or maybe some kids were trying to make a bottle rocket or something. I was feeling sorry for my family since they canceled all fireworks due to fire danger, but at least I can leave my home. ;) I hope it all gets figured out so you and your house-full can have a great evening!

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I'm sorry this is happening this year. Years from now this will be one of those "remember when" stories but it sounds very stressful now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
