Did you hear the boom?
Around 10:30 AM this morning (Friday) Smokey Barn News started receiving reports of people indicating they heard or felt some kind of a boom. We did check with the Emergency Management Agency. They had no official reports of any kind of incident or accident. Maybe we can triangulate on it. If you heard it or felt it, indicate your general location, the time you heard or felt it, and (on a scale from one to 10) how powerful the jolt felt or sounded to you. READ COMMENTS HERE
