Big boom also experienced in Burke, VA.

Capital Weather posted on Facebook that they heard it too, and it wasn't weather related.

Surely, wtop reporters (and other local news agencies) heard it too. Couldn't they post a headline like "investigating super boom sound that shook DC area" or something?


Check Twitter. Fox 5 and more are on it.

Oddly, I heard no sirens so I presume it is/was an expected boom (controlled implosion of an old building for example?).

From Prince William County through Fairfax, Arlington, and PG County to Annapolis

That's quite a boom.

Felt it in West Springfield - thought one of our giant oak trees had fallen. All the neighbors came out to see what had happened.

Very curious what it actually was!

But there’s no way I would have heard that from Hyattsville.


Or Lorton or Centreville...

I heard a loud boom a few minutes just after 3pm in Hyattsville. I thought maybe a transformer blew or something.
