Just heard a loud rumble. Thought it was just my neighborhood in south St. Pete. Now getting calls from friends across town asking if we felt it.

Yes.
Maybe a UPS Jet from the airport. Rattled my doors.

We have a pretty good view of launches from the Cape, but don't usually hear or feel them this far west.

No sun this afternoon. Overcast. The dog was sleeping in the shade this morning when the sun was out, too hot.

All quiet on the international space station.

We are very close to MAcDill AFB, so maybe it was something there, but it was very long rumble for a sonic boom, which is sort of an instantaneous shock.

Check NASA -- didn't they have a rocket launch scheduled today?

Bay News 9 is investigating!
They seem to be leaning toward sonic boom.

An Atlas 5 rocket launched earlier today from KSC, around 4:40ET.

We're in south St. Pete, my neighbor just said he saw a few planes headed for Macdill.
He assumed sonic boom, but also said it lasted a long time for a sonic boom. But maybe if it was multiple jets that might happen.

My husband said the "news" is leaning toward "sonic boom" as well. A little spooky though. :0)

I visited KSC 2 weeks ago. I wish there had been a launch then to see. Regardless, it was a fun place to see.

20 miles east of Bradenton, and we definitely felt it. A long rumble

Yeah, I ran outside and a few neighbors were out there. It sounded like two sonic booms here in Largo
dawn53 @ 4:43:03 PM PST
Well, just got a call from Tampa and they heard it too. We don't have earthquakes, so I'm assuming some major sonic boom.
asp1 @ 4:43:07 PM PST:
Darn right I did. My dog is still running around and upset. What was it?
dawn53 @ 4:44:23 PM PST:
Lasted a long time for a sonic boom though. My windows shook, my friends in north St. Pete said their floors were shaking. My niece lives over in Tampa, she just called too wondering what it was.

We just heard and felt something here in Sarasota...very strange!!! My wife just asked was that thunder and I thought it was Force 10 from Navarone because that is on. Just weird.
jwpjr @ 4:45:05 PM PST:
We are across the Bay in Tampa and something sort of shook our front door. Might well have been a sonic boom. The air force and navy both do a lot of drug interdiction flights out over the Gulf and it's not uncommon for them to get a bit too close to land or for the weather conditions to be just right and have it heard up and down the coast.

Coming up 95 thru Brevard I saw the white trail of a freshly launched rocket. I know they make sounds coming back in, but I don't know about going out. We're in south St. Pete, my neighbor just said he saw a few planes headed for Macdill.
