Herb@MAWS Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Just wondering if my Columbia, Md. and vicinity brethren were startled around 8am Sunday, Aug 25th by a house-rattling explosion. It shook our house considerably and then it was over. Could've been anything from a transformer .... to an earthquake (just about the only house-rattling sounds I've experienced) to something crashing into the ground in the area. I went outside right after it happened and I saw some neighbors way up the street also outside, so it must've been heard in a fairly wide area, at least around east part of Columbia.

Otherwise we would probably be looking at quite a few injuries if not fatalities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 We felt it at my house. About 2 miles as the crow flies from the explosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
