Something weird just happened.

[demelza]

Earthquake? We had one here in MI a month ago, and we never get them.

[killercupcake]

A/C?

One of my mom and dad's A/C units shakes the upstairs when it turns on.

[hungrycaterpillar]

Sorry, I was outside your place and sneezed. Terrible allergies.

[killercupcake]

[gummybear]

Any quarries nearby? We have one close and when they do whatever they do the whole underside of the house shakes

[1confused1]

Sounds like an earthquake but the map doesn't show one

[gummybear]

Can you ask the neighbor on that side if they felt anything?

Maybe a water hammer?

Or Lucifer come to claim your souls?

Ohhh, yeah. This could do it. 

[ginandjucie24]

Is that side of the house by the road? Could it have been a large vehicle driving by causing the shaking?

[cville]

Pipes? Sometimes they shake if they get air in them.

Or a gator. Might be a gator.

You should feel it! When they explode or do whatever it feels like the end of days!

I'm only laughing because you are reacting just how I would. I get freaked over the most explainable things if I don't have a proven explanation.

We had been in our new house about three days, and I was up pumping around 1 am and the doorbell rang twice. I was CONVINCED we had a peeping Tom or something and told DH we made a mistake and we needed to move. I was awake all night freaking out. The next morning, we realized out doorbell wires were faulty. Lol

Sinkhole for sure.

Okay so I'm not alone! One of H's coworkers is in a neighborhood a few miles South of here and posted in Facebook that he heard/felt a boom like something shook the side of his house. Said all his neighbors were outside talking about it. Whatever it was must have been closer to there. I didn't really hear anything, just felt it. I didn't see any of our neighbors outside.

They are totally going in the sink hole. You are safe.

[killercupcake]

Earthquakes can make a boom noise too.

Natural Gas explosion.


Or


Blame fracking

[aprilsails]

We had this happen. It was a meth lab a mile away blowing up. Luckily no one was injured.

[zoidberg]

Once a gas tanker truck exploded about a mile from my house and the shock wave was enough that it sounded like someone hit my front siding with a baseball bat and all the windows rattled in the front. It was really weird.

[hereigo]

gas line?

thunder?

This would have been my guess, too, because it is the most likely scenario in the part of the Midwest where I grew up!

That's the funny thing - it was very shocking on our small rural/suburban community. Everyone assumed it was the gas line to the barn that went until the drug squad came in en masse and started questioning all the neighbours. They were trying to track down the guy who had rented from the farmer and who had run off after the explosion.

You've got to love small towns - news travels fast!

Maybe a nest of snakes digging a nice, cozy home underneath your house?

Isn't there a naval base up there? Maybe they were doing some sort of testing out in the ocean? We feels shakes from that every now and then.

[nursewife]

I don't like your update Tamb! I want to know what the hell it was now! Stuff like that drives in insane. I may have stayed up all night a couple years ago because I was convinced someone was in our backyard and/or breaking into the neighbours shed. Nope. It was a stray cat.
