I was in my office this afternoon (sorta) working and there was a very large seismic boom outside. The whole house shook and the windows rattled- in fact, a screen on one of my windows actually FELL OFF from the vibration. My dog was so freaked out she got under the bed and would not come out.
I have heard sonic booms before and this was very different. In fact, the concussion of the noise was such that my left ear bone was reverberating for a couple hours. It reminded me of some of the stuff I saw in the military.
I called 911 and reported it. The dispatcher told me they'd had at least 70 calls from as far south as the cedar river. (I live just east of Bellevue) The operator told me to call back in 30 mins or so to see if there were any updates. I did call back later and the operator said they'd had at least 100 calls and the police could not figure out where the sound came from. She also said the news stations were calling because they'd picked the dispatches up on the scanner.
Did anyone else around this area hear this today? It was totally bizarre. Nothing on the evening newscasts tonight either. :weird:
