Oh, it sounded like they were coming from the west. Those babies were powerful, been living in NYC for more than 3 decades and have never heard anything like it. In any event, thanks for letting me know, really appreciate it.

Yeah I give up. But I know for a fact I wasn't the only one who heard it, there were two other tenants in my building talking about it in the hallway downstairs

Nope, still no clue. But apparently (and fortunately) nothing major or else we would have heard about it by now in the media. Probably a transformer like someone mentioned elsewhere.

My neighbor texted right after and asked me if I knew what that was, when I said I didn't he told me he was going to walk over there to check it out because he could "smell something weird" (I know, not a good idea) but he never got back to me. He lives in the back part of the building facing Houston, I live in the front and don't smell anything so far.

You didn't hear anything about 45 minutes ago? Not only once, but twice. Am I going crazy?

The app Citizen tells me Shotshooter Shotspotter technology has been activated. But those were no shots, they were explosions - maybe fireworks? Still no clue. Edit: it's all quiet right now, no more sirens or anything. So weird...

Sirens wailing right now, this isn't good. It smells really weird too (I'm around Ave C).

Yup I remember that one too, it's actually the reason why I got this terrible feeling about the two explosions today (which I've been told told were fireworks on Ave D and 3rd Street).
