I've been in thunderstorms where he distant thunder clap will shake the windows. That is another good example of what it feels like. Each time it has happened there has been no thunderstorms in the area.
I used to work for the FAA and know the air space around here. They do not have supersonic aircraft flying in any proximity of the villages. I mentioned it to my aunt who lives about 3 miles away and she has also experienced this as have some of my friends. None of us can figure out what it could possibly be. I live a good distance from I 75 and the turnpike. I have also checked the old posts in the forum and others have experienced this but nobody can seem to offer a good answer. Thoughts?
I’ve seen comments about the quarry blasts from villagers in Fenney, DeSoto, and others down that far, but never in Marsh Bend. It must’ve been a really big blast this time. I’m in DeLuna near the pool, was home all day yesterday, and never heard or felt a thing.
