From: WI Dept. of Military Affairs <dma_wi@service.govdelivery.com> WI NATIONAL GUARD RELEASE: National Guard to canvass Omro as part of Dark Sky exercise MADISON, Wis. — Approximately 110 Wisconsin Army National Guard Soldiers will partner with local emergency management, fire and police from the city of Omro, Winnebago County and the American Red Cross to go door-to-door in Omro, Wisconsin, May 16 as part of a full-scale training exercise known as Dark Sky. Local residents can expect to see Soldiers canvassing neighborhoods, knocking on doors, speaking with residents, and passing out emergency preparedness information as part of the exercise during the afternoon hours of May 16. There is no threat to the public, and local residents should not be alarmed or concerned if they see an increased law enforcement or military presence in Omro May 16. The purpose of this exercise is to aid in readiness and safety should a major crisis arise in the city. In the exercise scenario, National Guard Soldiers — at the request of local authorities and emergency responders — will simulate conducting health and welfare checks of local populations to ensure residents are safe. This is similar to a real-life scenario that played out in July 2017 in Burlington, when Wisconsin National Guard Soldiers assisted local emergency responders by going door-to-door in that community to conduct health and welfare checks in the wake of extreme flooding there.

Wisconsin Army National Guard Soldiers = WANGS

I think they're preparing for an impending natural disaster that they're hiding from the public.

Maybe a giant asteroid is on collision course with Earth.

No, it'll be giant rats invading Wisconsin after being attracted by all that cheese there...

Well...The Dark Sky project happens here tomorrow.    What a waste of money and manpower. JMHO

And! The city has informed us that they will be doing inspections looking for violations related to 'Clear Water', (storm or rainwater) entries to the sanitary sewer collection system.

The fuking city has been all over this house in the past few years, the downspouts and sump pump drain into a network of pipes that lead to the channel. I HOPE the f**kstick from the city WANTS to go into the crawlspace that THEY ruined.  I might just nail the hatch down while he begs for mercy!

What is The Dark Sky Project? Turning off all the street lights at night to cut down on light pollution?

That's what I would guess.

Well, I was at least right about what The Dark Sky Project is.
