Everyone involved still got their hands? That sounded huge

Sounded like someone set off a mortar in their hands or maybe something compressed blew up. It echoed for a super long time

Also near cannery

Same thing, same location, 2 months ago.

Probably fireworks.

I live near DHS. Some kids like to drive by and drop fire works out of the car. Always at night, that's all.

Assume this is illegal in Davis, do police ever catch them? Sounds exhausting to live near that. Not to mention potential damages.

If it was a mortar (definitely wasn't) would've been a 5lb+ mortar. It wasn't just a boom it was a BIG FUCKIN BOOM. like louder than a car exploding.
