NORMAN, Okla. – A spate of mysterious booms has been shaking a city in central Oklahoma.

As does the opposite! Sassafras trees hold a lot of water. Had a big one in my back yard. When it was hit by lightning, the water in it exploded into steam, and blew the tree to bits. Pieces of it were found two backyards away!
With this cold snap sounds like logic.
Your house will snap, or pop, also if its cold enough. Havent heard that in a long while though.

Well, this is just ducky. I’m going to central Oklahoma next weekend to pick up a mare. Last time I went they had their first earthquakes. It was scary as hell. The time before that they had the worst outbreak of November tornadoes. I’m beginning to wonder if I need to leave Oklahoma alone.
Just be careful not to scorch the underwear!

Someone's military playing with some new toys?
Friendly, I hope.
No idea. Interesting that it was happening in OK on Thursday/Friday then in GA over the weekend?
Weather? Military? Traveling Boom salesman? :-)
I didn't know what it might be, but I just knew the perfect job for me was out there somewhere.
