Around 11-11:30 here in forest city something was strong enough to shake the town. ive been told from friends in Carbondale, Honesdale, Lake Ariel, Herrick center, Clifford, Wallenpaupak, all heard or felt something about the same time.
​
Not finding any reports of incidents, contacted wnep but like usual no response.
i think maybe Binghamton idk like once a year i see some helicopters
When enough people call the meteorologists, sometimes they can triangulate reports with other atmospheric/satellite data to see if maybe it was a bolide (meteor air burst)
One of my coworkers agreed. There's an air base about 2 hrs driving distance.
That's a pretty big area for it to be man-made. I would guess a meteor, but during the day they're hard to see, and they often don't leave a trace and just burn up in the atmosphere. Especially if they explode.
Maybe the shale gas field under Dimock assploded...
I’m closer to Binghamton but didn’t hear anything. We get big quarry blasts here but Shadedblood’s seems a lot more wide spread.
What about a tumor?
It’s NOT A TOOOMAH.
How about a rumor?
THIS!!! I was thinking the exact same thing. Thank you 😊
WBRE has posted that it was dynamite for clearing land. I don't know if that was it, unless they used a lot?
There has been a lot of horseshit going on in NEPA recently with zero reporting from anyone.
But yanno the 4 year old tap dance recital and church chicken dinner needs to be reported on 890 times.
Maybe the Sheeple is waking up.
They agree laying some new pipelines, I'm guessing that but it was definitely an explosion
Nope, was a single explosion. Sonic boom generally isn't a single loud boom like that
Its was certainly loud and we felt it over by crystal lake
FOUND ONLINE: Public Safety tells Eyewitness News a crew was blasting to clear land to install pole lines in the Carbondale area.
Nice.. yeah they blast with dynamite close to hy house often for coal and that shit feels like it rumbles my house when it's close enough.
Didn't hear/feel anything here in SWPA. :)
We have gas wells all around us and often hear boom in the night.
Fairly small blasting in the ground can travel very far depending on the geology. I have no idea if that was the case here. Setting off explosives in holes with sensors over fairly large areas is actually an engineering method to measure rock and such. Although most places don't let us do that. We have to hit a metal plate with a big hydraulic hammer instead. If they were using it to clear rock it would generally be a much bigger blast.
It seems like we're back to not knowing wnep story
