I'm just south of 466 and it shook the house. :ohdear:

I heard it in Summerhill, too. It was like someone ran into the wall at full speed. The dog took exception to being disturbed, too.

I was in Beal's on 466 and thought the roof was caving in. My husband was home and said our sliding glass doors were moving. He wondered if it was an earthquake. I've heard the bombing from the range for 8 years now. This was different.

The Tampa Bay Times is a good source of information.

Probably United States military aircraft using the bombing range in Ocala National Forest honing their skills to protect our butts. Feel good about it.
