Did anyone else just experience this weird shit? About 15 minutes ago, I heard this strange rumbling. Not powerful enough to actually feel. I looked it up and supposedly 5 hours ago, there was a small quake off the coast. But this was much more recent, and I don't remember the one from five hours ago. Could this be leading up to something bigger? I've lived here my whole life and never experienced a quake that I remember.
I thought it was thunder at first but there was no lightning int he sky and the rumbling persisted without stopping. Reminded me more of a rocket going off, which was also a common thing in this area, just not this late at night. I also heard a "bang", it's hard to describe it. Not too unlike a sonic boom from a rocket. But there's no rocket. This must be an aftershock from that quake supposedly five hours ago. Or five hours ago was a foreshock. Or this is still a foreshock.
Man, this is weird. Gonna have a hard time falling asleep.
Rocket went off at Kennedy. Its some Space X launch
Brayden Rogers
I live in east Orange county and the boom shook the apartment I'm in. Reminded me of the shuttle coming back in, you know, when we had one. Strange
Zachary Cox
>not this late at night Dude, they shoot rockets off at all hours of the day. Midnight, 3AM, 5AM, doesn't matter the time it's about the launch window and weather.
My first thought upon hearing it was a rocket, but it was just strange at this time of night and it seemed like the earthquake article was easier to find. Really fucking weird because News 13 is usually all over the rocket launch. But I went to the website and it says "Bay News 9" now so they must be going through some transfer with the whole Spectrum buying Bright House thing.

nathin'
Carter Edwards
Shhhhh. It was nothing. Go back to sleep.
Samuel Phillips
>HOLY SHIT TURN ON CNN TANKS IN 30 fuck off
Hunter Stewart
I heard it too OP. Downtown, lake eola. Was like thunder.
Isaac Morales
When I was younger, it used to be a more prime time at night, mostly for tourism reasons I think for the Titusville area.
Caleb Kelly
It's probably just a sinkhole getting ready to swallow your house into the abyss.
Noah Brooks
Are you a new floridafag?
Connor Allen
Yes, very strong in sanford area then I checked us earthquake map, nada
it was scary
Justin Sanchez
No, been here all 26 years of my life. It's just that I didn't hear about this launch at all and my usual source that constantly dick-sucks the space program whenever it can was reporting nothing.
Nothing. No there wasn't an Akula off the coast listening into to CENTCOM having another torpedo room accident. Just some manatees collectively farting at midnight to piss of Jeb!
Sebastian Sullivan
I heard something too, just thought it was thunder.
Landon Hernandez
The SpaceX launch also did a full boost back to the landing pad at Cape Canaveral, so there would have been a second noise a few minutes later. Though when it lands it doesn't use all of its engines so it might not be as loud as the launch. There would still be a sonic boom though.
Benjamin Morgan
I mean, what are the fucking chances of there actually having been an extremely rare earthquake off the coast, an actual rocket launch, and the exact website I check for rocket launches deciding to not update this time?
Also, this is the first time I've even heard a rocket launch in years. I swear I never hear the SpaceX ones, I only heard space shuttles and NASA rockets years and years ago. Unless I've usually been asleep for all of these.
Colton Robinson
This one had a major boostback burn which came back. A first stage coming back at supersonic speeds makes a nice boom going by.
Henry Bennett
That explains it then. Were the previous SpaceX launches less prone to rumbling and sonic booms than the space shuttles years ago?
Leo Walker
I've lived here my entire life, and I've never heard a rocket launch. Everything actually shook. Its usually quiet.
Kevin Murphy
I have been in the field for a long time. This is the first of a series of quakes. Colleagues of mine have said that more bigger quakes will take place across the atlantic. If you even see the canary islands start to quake while living on the east coast, leave the east coast immediately. I have a full on evacuation plan for this situation. We were expecting a large quake to take place but only after ten years or so. Either way it's better to move to the central US if possible (as I am)
Nolan Jackson
Well, there's been only one return to land boost back so far, and that was late last December. So yeah, it's probably something new for most people.
Ryan Nguyen
I saw it from launch to land and it was quite impressive
Joshua Wright
no quake info on USGS. explosion maybe?
Eli Nguyen
seminole fag just walked back into my house from watching that SICK launch god bless america
Dylan Hernandez
You know bombs can detonatite underwater right it's a possibly
Jacob Phillips
my dad woke me up saying he heard a big ass boom. so it was a rocket then?
Ethan James
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON I FELT IT THERE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE EARTHQUAKES IN FLORIDA I CAME HERE TO CHECK IF ANYONE ELSE FELT IT
100% of the time if there's a rocket launch, that website will have a photograph up of it within minutes. If not, there should at least be a front page image of it on the landing pad ready to launch.
John Bailey
ya the second stage that came back down to land at the pad was loud as fuck i think it made a sonic boom on re-entry
Jack Butler
Damn, I thought it was a car crash. Last time I heard a boom this late at night it was a wreck. I live at a bad intersection.
Was wondering why I didn't see any police lights.
Ayden Price
Go outside you fucking spergs, musk is making history
I know this sounds fuckery but I live in Washington state and last weekend I felt an earthquake at about 1am. I looked it up and it said an earthquake occurred in my area at 8:50 or some shit. Didn't feel ahit till way later in the night. Prolly allyans we sum shit.
Jason Morgan
The shuttle was bigger and louder than the Falcon 9. Plus as the other user stated this one did a full boost back which has only happened once before. It's moving supersonic when it comes back down.
Jonathan Bailey
Only an idiot would believe that if the canary islands had seismic activity there is a low chance of a tsunami. That's complete bullshit, it's extremely high. What the Fuck are you, a shill?
Jacob Hughes
Is it finally happening soon?????
Nolan Ward
here's the launch and the landing of the first stage
Julian Russell
go outside its happening they just launched nukes from cape Canaveral
Ayden Collins
>American Geophysical Union I'm gonna take them at their word. The likelihood of a gigantic one-and-all slide is very low. It exists, but it's low.
Carter Rodriguez
Fort Lauderdale here, what's going on North fags?
Jordan Johnson
read the replies faggot
Kayden Ramirez
It'd be nice for them to give us some kind of warning.
Yeah I thought there was a helicopter in my backyard, Jesus Christ. Didn't know there was a launch today.
James Morales
Man, landing rockets is some crazy alien shit. We've heard sonic booms before, but this shit certainly sounds a bit different. I've heard louder, but this sonic boom sounded more like a car accident up the street. A single BOOM instead of that usual BOOM BOOM of a space shuttle returning.
Joseph Murphy
If the canary islands or even anywhere near them reach above 5.0 I am leaving Florida immediately. It is only inevitable that the big one hits. Sooner or later only a matter of time.
Carter Mitchell
You didn't read the link, did you?
Jacob Gutierrez
fucken mint
Joseph Hill
You're starting to sound like BLM
Lucas Jones
Felt it too... My single pane windows rattled like crazy. I live about 1hr south of Ocala and felt it. Treating it like a hurricane and going to bed.
Nolan Thompson
Well I'm going back to sleep. Gotta get up early for work. Sorry for the false alarm m80s. There's gonna be plenty going on this with with the RNC anyway.
Christian Price
Sobs like a sonic boom, then, but not from a shuttle.
Now sacrifice yourself for our Lord and savior, KEK, you nigger lipped faggot.
Parker Cooper
ITS HABBENING
Sebastian Murphy
You in Daytona, Holly Hill, or Ormond?
Nolan Fisher
Can you do New York and New England too? We would lose nothing of value there.
