Did anyone hear what sounded like bombing on Saturday 2/26 (South Jersey)?

I have to say I live in Toms River and from about 7am till 4pm we could hear the concussions from bombs or heavy gun fire throughout the day. The bombing was constant with only a few minutes between blasts.

Wasn't sure if any one else could hear or feel the same thing and where it was coming from?

I sure did! Beachwood here and it was pretty loud for me as well. Used to hear them a lot more often in the early 90s, always assumed it was Fort Monmouth, but I guess thats not the case now.

it's Fort Dix.

Monmouth does not have an artillery range, not much of anything left up there, just electonics and communications. It will probably be turned into another shopping mall.

Maybe you were hearing sonic booms?

Maybe you were hearing sonic booms?

def not sonic booms I have heard them before and these were going on all day only a few minutes between blasts. Then you would hear a different type of blast I think were like carpet bombs.

Would these be coming from the range by Penns Forrest?

Fort Dix. Loud and clear all day in Pinewald. A friend of mine who lives in down town Toms River asked me if I heard it also. You hear it like that every once in awhile.

I and a few others I was with heard it on Saturday morning in the Forked River Mountain area. It was Fort Dix for sure.

My guess would be that it was from Joint Base MDL.

Just like Lebanon will always be Lebanon to me, Ft Dix will be Ft Dix.

I also still call Brendand Byrne, Lebanon. It is hard to make change.

Kind of sad to see a historical name changed to some politician's (no matter how worthy). It will always be Lebanon for me too.
