Earthquake!

[Boyd]

Anybody else feel it? There were (I think) three separate shocks over a period of minutes. Rattled the windows and you could definitely feel it. I thought they were sonic booms but my daughter just texted me and was concerned because she heard there was just an earthquake at the shore.

I felt it three times. Must be the military off the coast. I live 10 minutes south of you.

Yeah I just saw that too. I dunno, what I felt was nothing like the "real" earthquake we had a number of years ago, when they closed the Washington Monument. I actually felt a "wave" travel through my house from one end to the other.

We have discussed the mysterious Atlantic County "BOOMS" before here….

That's what I assumed when I heard it. Between Lakehurst, Pomona and Dover there's a lot of firepower.

Do you think it could be the fat one with a load of mops?

The sonic booms that shook residents across several states Thursday afternoon, starting in New Jersey, may have been from test flights out of Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland.
