Any idea how far north of the dock? My grandfather is looking out with his binoculars and can’t spot it

  All over in a matter of minutes. But the original call was “40 yards north.”

Any idea on the reason for the helicopter circling Arbor Heights, westwood village, shorewood, and Arroyo from 5:30pm til now? (Still going?)

  Not related. It moved on before we could go look around on the ground though we just got a tip via Twitter that officers may be in the O’Reilly’s vicinity so we’re off to look.
