April 28, 1973, 08:01am.  For 4 days bombs exploded in the Roseville yard.  It could be felt and heard over 20 miles away in Auburn.  Gary Nelson tells the story:  "I lived by Sylvan Corners. 7300 Brocade Drive, which was on the corner of Brocade and Calvin. We lost 2 windows. I tackled my sister, pushing her behind a wall. Her and my mom had no clue what I was doing, until that glass blew out, and shot right where she was walking.  She went from mad to happy real quick."
