Oh yes...help is much needed to curtail this war zone activity.  In North Springfield the 19th and Yolanda area there is someone firing off what some refer to as "thumpers" ... The loudest possible, window shaking, frightening, house rattling an actual war zone effect explosives...bomb blasts. Why do they do it?..this has nothing to do with celebration, this is done for reasons known only to those that "enjoy" the noise and ignore the trauma to others. On my street, about 1 block away, it is dealt with by leaving home for a couple of days. Sheriff indicates they do not have enough patrols to help and City cannot as houses are not in the City. Last night started about 9:30 and went steady until mid-night. Do not know what tonight will bring as one just went off about 15 minutes ago and it isn't quite dark yet. Praying it won't be a repeat of last night.
