Sewer symphony #4
Apr 08, 2020, 01:10 PM
Santa Rosa, USA lockdown sound recorded by Joe Winkler.
"Our home and 2,900 others nearby were destroyed by the Tubbs Fire in Oct of 2017. We rebuilt on our lot and moved in last July. The housing construction sounds that we hear on a daily basis have now been overwhelmed by the sounds of sewer installation work. Recording and photo taken from our front porch.
"We have been sheltering in place for the past three weeks. We are in our mid 70's with added risk factors so we act as responsible as possible.
"We were about 10 minutes ahead of the fire, leaving with the clothes on our backs and our two dogs (who, by the way, love the fact that we now almost never leave home). Our fire experience has taught us that the only way is through. Our partially rebuilt community is stronger in every way with a big emphasis on caring for one another borne of our shared loss.
"We hope and expect that as we get on the other side of this crisis a similar coming together will occur in communities around the globe.Please, all take care."
