After I put Shyla down for a nap I started to hear a bunch of sirens. I ran to the table by the front door to turn on our police scanner and it wasn't there. So I went to check the other places it usually is and I couldn't find it (It ended up being with Jake in his truck). An hour later I read this:

Scary stuff! I live in the middle of now where now, but this use to happen by our house all the time. I'm happy to report not hearing sirens since September!
That's crazy, I don't know what it would be like to not hear sirens for months (someday). We hear them usually a couple times a day.
You need to come and buy the house that is for sale next to us. You guys would love it, and we would love to have you be our neighbors. Ever thought of it?
