I just stepped outside to do some work, and I heard an enormously loud and enveloping "WHOOSH" with a slight low frequency hum that quickly subsided. It continued for about ten-15 minutes. It was so loud that my wife and I could not communicate without yelling at each other at 20 feet apart.
It was clearly miles away. And the only thing I can think of is that in that exact direction, about ten miles away, is a large natural gas facility.
Here it is: https://www.google.com/maps/@37.4138666,-85.3956611,855m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en&authuser=0
It literally sounded like a rocket taking off (but never leaving the ground). Anyone hear any news on this yet?
Sometimes I think that the rapture may have happened in a big whoosh, and I’m still here.
Call your local Tv news
Haven’t heard anything on the national news.
I’d call around to see what the neighbors heard, and what the NG facility has to say.
That is exactly what it sounded like. Interestingly, I’m also hearing sirens from miles away in the opposite direction heading in that direction. To be clear, we’ve lived here over ten years and I’ve only heard sirens once. Now twice.
The news just hit: They are releasing air out of gas lines in Soloma. Man, I feel for the people that live within a mile or less of that plant. It was dang loud way out our way. I can only imagine what it was like there.
So, the siren must have been a coincidence - or someone was LITERALLY scared to death. ;)
If an array of vent points were opened along a line that is roughly perpendicular to your location, the sound could have been very loud.
To have gone on as long as you describe, a lot of $$$ worth of gas would have been lost, the contents of many miles of pipeline. Perhaps they got a report of a leak somewhere and vented a whole section of pipeline in order to avoid an explosion in a populated area.
I live near an oil refinery and sometimes things go on there that make it sound as if I lived on an airport runway.
If ANYONE tries to tell you its not aliens, ignore them. IT’S ALIENS!!
If it’s a big one, I’d be surprised if they didn’t have a big combustion turbine generator or two for emergency electrical power. Combustion turbine => essentially a ground mounted aircraft engine.
I think federal regulations on the pipeline companies were tightened in the wake of those incidents, and they now have to do a lot of testing and vent to atmospheric pressure if they detect even the slightest hint of a leak anywhere. The lines are punctuated by valves at intervals, but those valves can be pretty far apart.
I would take the "releasing air" story with a grain of salt, but perhaps they were doing some sort of high-pressure test with air before bringing a section back into service after a repair cycle.
If it was a test, they undoubtedly test to a pressure somewhat higher than the operating pressure of the pipeline. If they have to release — say — twenty miles of pressurized line, and the line is the usual 36" size, that would be an awful lot of compressed air, millions of cubic feet when it expands to ambient pressure.
The Rapture FIRST transforms those in Christ into higher dimensional variable beings. THEN the whoosh happens where we are gathered up into the clouds to meet the Lord int he air. we will literally disappear from view by those not being Raptured, then be drawn up into the clouds to meet the Lord int he air and return with Him to the Father’s House where there are many rooms awaiting our arrival.
The airport produces that Whooshing sound and I hear it ten miles away as the crow flies. Jet engines under the right atmospheric conditions can be heard many miles away as they crank up. I live in the area this thread is describing ...
It gets pretty cold where I live ("Upstate" New York, about 100 miles from the Canadian border). On those rare occasions when the fire siren was activated on a cold winter day, it sounded like it was almost next door. You cold hear the individual "tick" sounds as the siren ports opened and closed when it spun down to low RPMs as the siren died out.
It’s supposed to be the third or fourth largest refinery in the country, so that could be it.
Has any wells been drilled by your house yet? Loud 24/7.
I don’t mind though because that means we will soon get our gas royalties.
Nope.
Yep. It’s roughly perpendicular to me.
Especially when we change clocks and you show up at church an hour early..
An elderly lady knocked on our door in a panic some years back. She didn’t know about the time change. She was quite agitated.
