Freaking Out

So last night, I went to bed around 12:15. I was exhausted and already frustrated. No sooner had I laid down than there was a really loud boom outside my bedroom. I looked out the window, didn't see anything, and laid back down. About two minutes later, sirens everywhere, and a ton of red lights outside my window. Now, I've told Sil how much I envy her ability to fall asleep in the middle of a voice chat with me. Any noise and I can't sleep. So you can imagine my grumpiness
Mom and my stepdad knew nothing, they slept through the hole thing. But mom, when she went on lunch, emailed me an article about a severe car accident. I read the article, looked at the picture.... my dang bedroom window is visible in the upper right corner just above the smashed car!
Man, I feel like a douche for not checking it out now.

dang. I've had similar things happen to me, with a schoolbus accident

Also, though I wasn't asleep, I missed a pretty big one while reading the latest Dan Brown novel. I was so deeply engrossed in it while I was waiting for my shift to start that I missed a truck driving through a wall.
No, not just hitting the wall.
This delivery semi tried turning around in the bay for reasons unknown and backed up into the wall instead, CRUMPLING the freaking wall like tissue paper and sending a shockwave through the building that people heard at the FRONT TILLS. And here I was not even 30 feet away and I heard NOTHING.
It wasn't until I got up to stretch my legs that I noticed the unnatural amount of sunlight coming into the hallway from a place where there was no outside door or window.....
