    As the title says, does anyone know what these air raid style sirens were last night? I heard them at about 6pm in the Bremore Pastures area.

    I know that, but I was afraid it was some new national siren for a terrible thing happening, that I wasn't made aware of.



    I am aware that I sound like someone who wears tinfoil hats... I'm not really!!!!

    My son insisted he heard an Air Raid Siren,last night,about 5.15 pm,we opened the back door, and it was very loud,this is where it gets mad, I phoned Gormanstown Army base and asked why there was an Air Raid Siren,the Army Man, on the other end of the phone,said he couldnt hear it,as he was indoors!Why would I think they would have anythink to do with it!Anyway,my son was awaiting a disaster of some sort.A sunami,he says, I did give him a loan of 2012, the movie! His imagination was in overdrive,but Air Raid Sirens shouldnt go off any old time.Then in the early hours of the morning, I got up for a drink of water,there was a heavy black fog,with the smell of burning rubber, I closed my window quickly,told my husband,he saw,and smelt it too.I got back into bed,after 10 mins,I checked again, It had dissapeared! honest! the sky was clear and stars were out,I got my husband up out of bed,He,couldnt understand it either!
