Thread: Big Rumble in Coastal AL???

Who all felt the big rumble this afternoon in Coastal AL & MS?

At 5 Rivers, the building shook for 2-3 seconds, 3 distinct rumble were felt.

USGS says it was not an earthquake.

Felt it, shook my back door pretty hard and walls vibrating. I live in Daphne.

Actually I was walking just past the T and thought we had incoming . I almost hit the deck the BOOM was so pronounced ,but after looking around nobody else had seemed to notice . I figured it was just my PTSD .

What time was this?

Maybe it was just the unified grumble of disenfranchised pier fishermen ;-) lol

Best explanation I've heard...
"Boom" Felt Across Viewing Area

Here's a strong theory from Chief Meteorologist, Alan Sealls...
The booms and shaking people may have felt today in the News 5 area wasn't weather. The sky was clear so there was no rain or thunder. Your free News 5 weather app showed that no earthquakes were detected from the USGS. You would have had no reason to look at a radar today but if you were looking at a high resolution radar you might have seen some lines that looked like rain- but it wasn't raining today. The shapes and textures I saw look like something called chaff, being released by fast moving aircraft. Chaff is tiny metallic strips dropped from aircraft to either calibrate or “fool” radars. This is something the military does from time to time but rarely do they announce it. I will only guess that today there was some sort of military exercise that involved jets going supersonic and creating booms. With our cold, dense air in place, sound travels farther.

​Somebody check on Wilson, he might have fallen off the couch again during his nap!

Blue angels practicing ??? I dunno but I heard it about 5 times yesterday after 5 pm

Must have been during my nap time---or I just thought the cats were acting up again.
