Sorry if this is in wrong sectionWell a few minutes agoI heard some noisesI thought that it was the TV but it soon stopped and I heard a beep.The same noise my little brothers laptop(aka my old one) makes when you pull out or plug in the chargerand then the noise stoppedand I remembered that my brother was watching videos in a spare roomand he tends to stop in the middle of them..and when you turn the laptop back on,video continues playing even before you sign in so you can hear itand the door was never closed to that roomnothing has happened after thisI have a pair of wire cutters with mebut they are small and even when stabbing with them at full force,the worst I'll do it poke any robbers that come inI'm serious hereI have no phone on me eitherDo you think my house just got robbedor am I being paranoid?I also just heard a swooshing noiseI couldn't tell where it came fromsort of sounds like one of the doors in our house,but could be a plane or car outsideShould I go check?I'm really scared
In my area, most of these type storms pop up late aftn. I also have two friends that do not turn their horses out at night because of this. they do have run in sheds. the horses wear fly masks and fly sheets and go out at 7 am and come in at 3-4pm. they are big fields with woods so the horses know where to go to get out of the heat. every time I go to visit themI have never even seen any of these daytime turnout horses sweat or seam overly bothered with flys. Where I keep my horsethey turn them out come hell or highwater at night, in the summer, and I spend a lot of time worrying about lightening strikes. there are no run in shed in their fields and it is a gigantic farm where storms seem to hit a lot. we even had a wind shear the other day that chopped a 150 yr old oak tree in half, but left the garbage cans standing a few hundred feet up the drive way.
Do you mean the smoke alarms, or do you have an actual fire alarm system that is operated by an alarm company? If it's a system, call the company that operates it; usually it is a battery that needs to be serviced. If they are individual smoke alarms, are they battery operated, or hard wired into your electrical system? If they are battery operated, replace the batteries (you're supposed to be doing this when you change the clocks in the fall). Usually these alarms are programmed to give you alerts to warn you that the batteries need replacing. They are designed to do that to get your attention. If it's a hard wired smoke alarm system, then all I can suggest is checking if there is some kind of discharge going on. Cooking fumes? A vaporizer? That may set them off. I've seen a defective steam valve on a radiator set off an alarm. You will know if it's a fire alarm system, and not a smoke alarm, if there's a central control panel for it someplace in the house, with an indicator panel and push buttons. That would have the name and number of the company that operates the system. I'm thinking it's more likely you just have smoke alarms.
