What I can’t figure out is how this was felt more than 20 miles away in Hancock county. I did a map search to see the distance. That is a long way to feel that explosion.

A guy from the gas company said they found no leaking gas in the ground in the neighborhood.

Saw one rumor that the family had been having work done on the house. If so, that company is about to go bankrupt.

Depends on conditions. The airstation is a couple of air miles away. This time of year, I make sure I'm outside at 8:00am and put up the flag while the National Anthem plays. Yes, I face the music, and render a salute.

I hear the warm fuzzy noise of their exersizes (small arms and explosion simulators) really well this time of year.

I'm not very surpised that it was felt 20 miles away.

The low frequency sound was conducted through the underlying limestone. The soils in Indiana North of the limits of the great glaciers are exceedingly fertile and well suited to agriculture ~ but they are actually quite thin and unless you live in an area also underlain by a large pothole full of gravel, you learn all about drought every few years.

This is physiologically pretty much the same subsurface condition you find in East and South Texas.

Some years ago there was a home explosion about 25 miles from where we lived and I heard/felt it. This was over a rural, hilly and wooded area. I was surprised it traveled that far but it did.
