Now I'm starting to wonder if all of those thumps I've heard/felt over the years and assumed were local house construction and renovation were actually artillery 40 miles away.

Huh

Aren't there plains states where this can be done?

I'm in Vienna and my house shook earlier today. I thought DH must have fallen hard, but no. Quantico is 30+ miles away, that's wild.

I was doing a basement workout and thought the bass on my music was too loud.

I could hear and sometimes feel those exercises all the way in Burke when I lived there. They occasionally shook the house!
