At 1430 hours on this date a strangely long sonic boom – or an oddly mild earth tremor – shook our part of the Greater Mobile, AL area right down to the core. The event was also felt at Lady Beth’s place of employment some 6 miles from The Pasture as the crow flies.
Shelved items shook, photos hung on the walls became askew, and the house was rattled on its foundation. Duration: 3 to 5 seconds. More odd is that the animals, including the parrot and the Great Danes were quiet the entire time. The only critter that showed any fear during the event was our Shih-Tzu, Ruby. After the event all of the creatures are showing stress. In fact, the Amazon parrot won’t shut up!
No physical damage noted.
Event was reported to the USGS for review. We are wondering if it was possibly a meteor entering the atmosphere…
If you have any info on this event, please leave a comment!
Bull, out!
