Residents Report Ground Shaking; Most Likely Sonic Boom

October 28, 2008

Residents across the area are reporting a “rumble” or a “shaking” about 9:00 this morning.

We’ve received numerous calls and emails from across the area reporting rumbling walls and shaking windows. But it was not an earthquake, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. No seismic activity was reported within 1,000 miles of North Escambia.

Officials say it was likely a sonic boom…cold temperatures and low humidity can often lead to sonic booms traveling great distances.
