Multiple sonic booms and aerial explosions violently move the air. Think about when thunder rattles your house. The sound waves moving the air caused seismic equipment to register the vibrations on the earth.

Perhaps, but more likely the sonic boom shoved down a wide enough area to do it.

Based on flash to bang delay one FReeper reported rattled windows 25 miles away.

That's a LOT of air shoved out of the way! That force had to go somewhere...

There was no earthquake the meteor broke the sound barrier.
