    Default Explosions around Arvada?

    I'm in Arvada and we just heard three, now four, explosions. Anyone know what's going on?

    The only time I've heard an explosion like this was at Mines E-Days fireworks shows, when you are 100 yards away. This was miles away and the report was several seconds after the flash. It was West from Arvada. We tossed songs the idea of a Christmas fireworks show, but this sounded more like an avalanche cannon or something. No one heard anything?

    By the way, I heard at least 10 boats before I was in my vehicle heading home. I called relatives around town and no one has heard anything. I'm gong to feel dumb if this was nothing; but I'd much rather feel dumb than it be something real, and bad.

    I was up on a hill near Fitzmorris Park, which is near 66th and Independance. I'm not seeing anything in the news, and friends working in the PD on shift right now haven't heard anything. It was some of the largest explosions I've ever heard, but you could tell it was far away. I don't know, I guess it was nothing. I feel like Chicken Little at the moment. I wasn't the only one who heard them, but it appears to be nothing. If those were simple fireworks, I'm impressed and people any closer couldn't have been very happy. Sorry for the false news I guess.

    Thanks for the tip. I clicked on the report icon hours ago. It's Christmas, people have better things to do. I hope they delete both threads. No need to have false alarms.
