Explosions this morning

[sukismom]

Are they bombing in Pine Castle this morning or are the explosions coming from somewhere else? Within the last 15 minutes, rattling the windows.

[Sable99]

Where's Pine Castle?

[PJUCTH]

Don't know. But sure rattled had it here in Duval

[sukismom]

Pine Castle is the military bombing range in Ocala National Forest. They schedule the bombings there but have not seen a schedule for this week.

I heard that as well. Glad someone else did!!!

[MicheleE]

Wasn't sure what that was -

[cc1246]

It shook our house. Wonder what it was. We live in Amelia and it sounded like it was an explosion around Leesburg.

[MicheleE]

I'm in Amelia too - so I felt the same thing as you did cc

So it was not Stonecrest attacking Spanish Springs. That�s a load off.

[gomoho]

Thought it was Godzilla dropping in for "a beautiful day in The Villages".

Bombing can't be a good thing when the ground is so fragile and we are susceptible to sink holes.:22yikes:

[mulligan]

Here we go !!

[golf2140]

I thought that I was the only one who had heard it. Had asked neighbors here in Bonita no one heard a thing. Thought that I was dreaming. They must be using the "Big One".

[ricthemic]

Heard it very loud at Bonifay this morning. No idea what it was but I do believe people are entitled to their opinions

[rdhdleo]

Been here almost 12 years you'll get used to it. First time I heard it and it shook the house I thought , what an earthquake in Florida??? LOL Now I barely notice.

[gomoho]

The paper this morning is reporting the authorities don't know where the sounds came from and set off 11 home alarms.

[Villageshooter]

the daily sun on top of every breaking news story! Not! it was loud here in the box! it shook the cardboard walls big time!

[Cedwards38]

So it was not Stonecrest attacking Spanish Springs. That�s a load off.

If the Stonecrestians take Spanish Springs, will they pull down the statue of Harold Swartz, cause I for one will not stand for that.
