Just heard of some crazy shenanigans that went down by the bomba shell in Juan D last night. Helicopters, etc. For like 45 minutes. Anybody got any idea? Dont think that its in the newspapers yet.

that happened in Boca Chica last year. Not for 45 mins...but these helicopters would swoop in daily and just hover above the beach (at very close range). Nothing really happend cept for umbrellas being blown around everywhere. It was just sorta creepy tho.

just talked to some tigres down near there and they said its some army stuff. My buddy said he was sitting watching it on his rooftop last night and it looked like iraq. Explosions and everything. He told me it was some narcos fighting the cops but these other guys said its just army training. Kinda disappointing I was inventing some cool scenarios in my head.
