Does Dixie Lime still blast? Probably too far away if it was. Not sure

We heard a series of rumblings this morning over in Country Club Hills/Orange Blossom. Thought it was thunder!

I heard and felt it and my dog was freaked out. I did not think it was coming from the forest but perhaps it was. I tried to google when they were bombing but did not really get any dates. Can only assume it was the Navy.

Multiple postings re: this on Nextdoor....yes it's the test bombings in the Ocala Forrest. EVERY time....people here ask "what was that?" Been happening for years. IF folks here can hear it, imagine the folks who actually live in the forrest experience??!!!
