over one spot. I can see it from my porch.
Don't know what, if anything, it means, but it had been doing a racetrack flight over the affected area all morning, and now it's just pinned in the sky over one spot.
UPDATE: Helicopter on the move again. Also saw two large green military transport helicopters fly by. As I look at the TV, they're landing in the parking lot of the Target my wife was shopping in just yesterday. My brain just exploded.

My family and friends live in town, I am just outside so it's great to be able to hear what's happening.

(60,010 posts)I've been up since 4 am, because we had a thunderstorm which means the dog goes nutz in the house.
So need to take a siesta...
if you don't hear anything, check to make sure the volume is turned up high.
Police are asking to not tweet anything we hear.
I figure DU is a safe enough place to share importrant stuff, tho.

(20,776 posts)I mean helicopters.. it happens in SF a lot. lying peacefully in bed and suddenly there is this huge machine hovering two houses down in the neighborhood.. and all you can think of.. is.."Is today Bay to Breakers?"...well at least here. Last time it was a broken water main. Oh and we get those giant military helicopters too from time to time.. have no idea what they are doing (Coast Guard maybe.).
During Football season its always a blimp!

(58,179 posts)But the helicopters are on every TV station, and they're flying low enough to rattle the windows in the panes. Not exactly stealth mode in the skies of Boston.

My reaction to helicopters over head now is to send the thought "hang in there" to whomever is getting lifted.
