Sonic boom. Bomb, Earth quake 1 AM Orlando

[ThreatMatrix]

Something went off tonight. Sounded like a really low sonic boom over my house. I thought tree fell on it. My kids texted friends miles away and the felt the same thing.

Nothing here.

Did you have a permit and which county did you land in?

I was fishing. I didnt think to file a permit.

Better cut down on the roughage in your diet. A few more of those and the polar ice caps will melt.

Growing up in the mountains in Virginia, we used to have flyovers all the time from jets practicing terrain maneuvers. One time when I was about 11 or 12, I'm guessing a plane broke the sound barrier and there was a sonic boom over our house in the middle of the afternoon. I swear everything in the house lifted off the ground and slammed back down. Scared me half to death, and I don't think we saw the cat for days.

The 5.9 earthquake in 2011 was terrifying, as well. We only lived about 40 miles from the epicenter. I was downstairs in our split level house when it started. Initially thought the roaring was a gust of wind until the entire house started swaying back and forth and dishes started breaking upstairs. I think I was up the stairs and out the door in about 3 seconds flat, just in time to sh*t myself in the driveway.

I remember that one too (2011)... I was in a meeting in an office building directly across from the Dulles airport.
Sounded weird - like a bunch of pallet jacks running down the hallway outside of the room.
We first thought a plane had gone down across the highway but we quickly found out otherwise.
They felt that quake all the way up into Manhattan.
The Washington Monument took a hit and was closed for quite a while for repairs.

I'm over on Cocoa Beach vacationing. I heard it. Sounded like a bomb and I instinctively thought sonic boom.

I had a sonic blast last night. Sonic boom still to come.

Probably the Navy testing stuff:

It appears the “earthquake” detected on Saturday by seismographs as far away as Venezuela and across the United States and Caribbean was triggered by a manmade explosion designed to test the seaworthiness of a new U.S. Navy vessel.

I read about this as well but what I read said it was at 4:00p that day, not 1:00a but who knows. Maybe they were doing more tests at night.

Hey Captain. What part of the mountains in VA did you grow up? I grew up in Bristol VA.
