It happens every 4 weeks or so and many folks haven't heard or felt it as perhaps they simply weren't home at that particular time. We do feel it and it does rattle the house for a moment. No damage to our house yet. If there was any significant damages around the area, we would all have heard about it. Believe you me (as my mother always said)
Just wondering......can these blasts disturb the foundation of the home.? What about hairline cracks you would not be able to see under flooring? I would think tile might crack too. This is not a good situation.
