2 gun shots 15 seconds apart and all hell breaks loose, easily 500 + birds in the air… apocalypse clouds all around and to make things more ominous the wind picked up from the NW around the 20mph and then it started hailing… I’ve been in hurricanes, earthquakes and may have even driven through a tornado, but this 5 minutes made ever hair on my body stand up. fucking craziness
