Could we really hear/feel that here?


This doesn’t sound safe at all. Why is it even allowed?


Which part isn't safe? Exactly where should they be doing these highly supervised and heavily controlled exercises? I live 30 miles from a major marine base, I can hear when they're doing their ordinance exercises and sometimes feel it - never has it been a concern not to me or to our neighbors.

Thank you so much for asking this question here! I was wondering what was going on!

We felt it here (about 10 mins south of Old Town) about 20-30 minutes ago.

If it's on Tuesday mornings around 7 it's probably cannon practice at Arlington national cemetery (I hear it in sw dc sometimes). At other times, it could be a military funeral there.

Yes they do as this happened to us near annapolis when the incapacitated plane flew near dc and they scrambled from a local base. But I haven’t heard of that in close in va. seems would be more construction related like pile driving.
