Whump. pause. Whump. pause. Whump. Godzilla is romping through our neighborhood this morning.

When I was making coffee at 8:10 this morning, a woman outside the house signaled an unseen companion “5-5-5-5” with a flash of her hands.

The thumping began 20 minutes later. Emergency vehicle sirens started screaming down the main thoroughfare about 15 minutes after that. Now it’s 9 and the noise continues but thus far Godzilla (who sounds like someone thumping a very large metal bin) seems to be walking in place a few blocks away from here. I hope he heads in the other direction. Posted by kuri at October 04, 2001 09:01 AM
