Anyone hear or feel that at 9am? Heard a loud boom and my house shook. People reporting it from Sandusky to Madison.


Edit-Meteor I guess they are saying

It was definitely not the normal tannerite "boom" heard frequently around here.  It had a long rumbling sound following the initial blast in Central Ashtabula Co.  I tought it might be an earthquake, but if you hear it, you can usually feel it in this area.
During the Middle Ages, probably one of the biggest mistakes was not putting on your armor because you were "just going down to the corner."

We heard and felt it in the near west suburbs.  Cool stuff!

We were in different parts of the house and my wife was yelling to see if I was okay. She thought it was something that I did. I have no idea why that was her first thought.

My wife said something similar.

You are much, much closer to the "detonation" point than I am.

I was on an online meeting with my boss in Euclid and when he asked if I heard it I thought it was one of those mild NE OH earthquakes. But the boom seemed weird for that theory.


A good friend of my wife's lives in Valley City. She said they thought a plane had crashed initially. It must have been wild down there!

I heard that long, rumble too.  Usually, when we hear an earthquake out here, you also feel it.

I was night fishing one evening several years ago when a meteor went over, for a split second it was like it was daytime.

It was snowing in central Ashtabula county. We couldn't see it, but heard the explosion and the rumble that followed.

Anyone do any meteorite hunting?

I'm not in a prime area but might walk my property this weekend to see if I can find a small piece.
