Panic in my Neighborhood: Swarms of Sirens Passing By Lewiston, Maine I mean, they're going right by my brother lives up there. They're going past my house. Yeah, something bad. I mean, they're flying. And there's a lot of them. What is going on? This is a probably the craziest channel members video I've ever made. I know you can't see me, but you really don't have to. I'm outside of my house and there are sirens going on. Maybe you can hear them. It's I think it's eight o'clock at night. And my neighbor's dog, I'm I'm in no danger here. Let me just be clear about that. I mean, I'm in very little danger. It's weird, but there are a lot of rumors going on in the town that I live in. I live in a town called Lewiston, Maine. My neighbors, that's just my neighbor with her dog. But let me let me get to the point here. The most sirens I've ever heard in my life, they've been going on for the last half hour. And what I guess has happened in my town, I hope this isn't true. But with social media, everybody's talking. My family is home tonight safe. My daughter is usually out at this time. She's usually at a rehearsal for a play she has coming up a show on stage. And but she's home tonight. But and of course, I'll update you tomorrow or whatever. But it's just a weird time right now because people are saying that there are. Maybe 16 people shot just a couple miles from my house like at the bowling alley. I sometimes go to and. A restaurant just down the street and when I say down the street, maybe two miles, but. Every day I come home, I pass it, so it's pretty close, like from work. So I'll let you know what's going on, but it is kind of crazy because. A lot of car horns going on right now. Yeah, so what was I saying? I don't know why those horns are going on, to be honest. Or maybe people are just locking their cars right now. I think that's what it is. People from inside their house. I'm not I'm not I'm not worried about my safety right now. I wouldn't be out here if I was. But it's a beautiful night. And. I don't know if you can hear it's just crazy. All of the sirens. I don't even know what I said. Did I say some people think that there are. And I'm getting text messages. I need to go pretty soon. My phone is blowing up. But there might be like 16 people shot. I have friends who are nurses and doctors and they're being called into the hospital. So it's just an absolutely crazy situation. And it just makes me think like, did somebody plan this? So I don't know. I don't know. I don't want to scare anybody. This is just going to members and kind of let you in on what's going on in my life. But it's just a crazy night. Crazy night. And so let me sit down here. Some are saying, you know, like. You hear that? I hope you can hear it is just people are just. And who knows, people may be. Going to try to see family members that they think may be hurt or at the hospital. But like I said, a bowling alley. And it's not a restaurant exactly. It is, but they play pool there like billiards. Do you know that game? So I have a feeling I won't be going to sleep anytime soon. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/usbrent/support
