Welcome Home…To the Sirens

July 30, 2006 - 2:03 PM by

Our faithful reporter Carmia is back home in Haifa, on the front lines of the home front:

I came back to Haifa late last night after almost a week in Tel Aviv and Ashdod. It was nice to have a break from the sirens, the missiles, and the explosions. I think it was a badly needed break. This morning, promptly at 6:5o, we were woken by the air raid warning siren. As usual, I met my roommate in the hallway. We tried to go back to sleep but at 7:05, there was another alarm. Both seem to be false (at least in Haifa). I decided to get up anyways even though I had set my alarm clock for 8:00. There doesn’t seem to be a point in trying to go back to sleep.

A little later:

It’s only 8:30 AM and we’re sitting in the hallway, listening to the third alarm of the day. This time I’m actually hearing explosions, so it’s not a false alarm. Inch, the cat, is listening and sitting with us in the hallway.
