If the House is a Shakin'......

It was very strange. I was sitting in my living room, a little before 8:00pm talking with Laughing Wolf tonite. We were just wrapping up the conversation.

All of a sudden I interrupt him....my house was shaking. Things on the walls, the glass doors. I told him it was "hurricane" shaking.

I knew we had some strong wind but this was different.

Yes - yes it was.

At 7:41pm an F18 was landing at McDill Airforce base in Tampa. The result was a sonic boom. They flew in over the Gulf of Mexico and it's believed that the weather contributed to the event.

Yep - I've experienced a sonic boom. It was pretty cool....once I knew what the hell was going on. I just wish I could have seen those puppies flying! Damn, now THAT would have been cool!

Pretty Awesome. My parents live where you can see the Blue Angels practice. So cool.

Glad to know it was that, and not something bad! :)

Speaking of "puppies", what did your puppy do? Mine would have run for cover or piled themselves on top of me in fear!

I live 2 miles as the crow flies from an airport that fighter jets often land at. Yep, they be real loud. The same airport every summer hosts a airshow, blue angles fly in it often. House shakes a lot during that week while they practice. They also have the stelth bomber fly over.

I love it every time! Just stand outside and watch them go by or run to the window a squeal like a little kid.
