SPACE X brought a Rocket Shell back to Cape Canaveral and LANDED IT AT THE CAPE.
This caused the Sonic Boom/Shake to be heard and felt all across most of Florida.

Normally they land it on a barge in the Middle of The Atlantic Ocean.
When they land it Mid Ocean.... WE would hear nothing.in The Villages

The Sonic Boom was Heard all Across Central Florida.

The Local Dixie Stone Co had nothing to do with this Boom and Shake.

Yikes. I'm in Mallory Square where one of those sink holes opened up. Apparently I do have something to worry about.

There are military jet flights
 

About a month ago someone posted two A10s flying closely over some Villages housing in another post.

Additional Theory
A villager adjusted their golf cart to hyper sonic speeds above 20 mph and you heard the reverberations of the experimental cart craft.

Let's see, 6-1/2 years of building homes south of 44, lived here 6 of those years and have never heard anyone mention a crack in their foundations or any other damage. However there is a lot of crack(s) in your neck of the woods.

How did you miss that?

Good to know the quarry is not causing any damage to the homes.

I have no idea. I know we do have a problem with sink holes in The Villages. I just didn't realize one opened up so close to where I live.

good it worked

Thanks for the link. Some new ones have cropped up (or fallen in) since then. There was also one in Calumet Grove I think.

We don’t either by Sawgrass Grove. :MOJE_whot:

Sonic Booms
 

Here is an article explaining the sonic booms.

Sonic booms in Florida: SpaceX makes noisy announcement

Since at least since building South of 44, the Villages does extensive geological drilling to determine the conditions beneath the surface. You can see this as a matrix off white spots in Google photos prior to construction.

They scoop out any organic material and back full with sand/clay.

If moisture content is high, they use piles of soil to compress and force moisture out over time to compact/stabilize the soil

While that may have happened, the A-10 is not capable of supersonic flight...therefore cannot produce a sonic boom.

Never going to happen. Why say that? Time to have a bit of reflection perhaps?

This is why we do have sinkhole insurance

Really big one this week. first we experienced in two years. House shook.

Blasting
 

When I lived west of Ft. Lauderdale in the late 70's blasting was just a way of life.
Sunrise, Plantation, Weston, Pembroke Pines, Miramar etc. were all just Everglades back then. Tens of thousands of homes were being built. To make room for the new developments they had to blast and muck and demuck to have land to build on.
They take the muck out by truck usually to the railroad out east and bring back truck loads of solid fill and dump it. This went on for years. If you look at a map of Southeast Fl. you will see 441. Most everything west of it was built after I moved there. Amazing

Tremors/Explosions mines
 

Down load the app “find my car.” Look for your village/house and see just how close you are to one of three mines/quarries especially the one that does blasting every so often. The blasts rock the entire house. Too bad the realtor didn’t mention it. “It’s not personal, it’s just business.” Welcome to TV. Woodstock John. 🇺🇸😇🇺🇸

and welcome aboard to you also

I'm thinking of bad vibrations, sorry b.b.

House Shakes
 

Where: Fenney Village, close to 301, near pitch and putt
Last felt: 07/13/2023 (intermittently 1-2x per month before that)
What: House shakes for 2-3 seconds
Ask next door neighbor: She has been a resident for 3 yrs, also feels these tremors

I called DistrictGov they are unsure.
However, I suspect it's blasting 5-7min away in new areas being build.

Does anyone know what this shaking could be caused from?

Yep, but you do have to deal with old roofs and old HVAC systems. The quarry has been blasting for 30 years or so and never saw a report of damage to any village home.

There's a ground collapse three houses away from mine right now, in the street. A month ago there was a different one that'd been there for three months before it was finally filled in and re-sodded, and that was around the corner, also on my street. Another happened also on the "historic side" that half-swallowed someone's car while they were driving up the road, and it collapsed under their wheels.

A sinkhole is a type of ground collapse. Sinkholes are natural occurrences that are common throughout Central Florida, also known as Sinkhole Alley.

Other kinds of ground collapses can be caused by defective retention pond lining, inferior retention pond lining, inferior engineering standards for road building, poor or insufficient road maintenance, pipe leaks and bursts under the ground, and a handful of other things that would not have happened if people didn't build on sand and limestone.

Most of the Villages ground collapses aren't sinkholes, but we do get lots of them. Most of them don't make the news because they're as unremarkable as pot-holes are in New York City.

Did you read the previous 60 posts and not find your answer??
It’s there.

Thank you everyone for the tremors info.

I believe I do have my answer that it is BLASTING around the Quarry area.
I called DistGov again and they could not confirm "blasting", but alluded to it. So it lines up to what everyone is saying here.

I will not worry for now since it is infrequent. And, it does occur early morning / mid-day during a weekly "work day." Thus, a construction crews likely work hours.

That’s the right attitude……….enjoy life!😀
