I live on the NC coast and we have been having strange booms for over 100 years. Lately they have been stronger and more frequent. The one 2 weeks ago was the loudest I've heard and the ones on Tuesday felt like an Earthquake and were felt 100s of miles. No explanation. As usual they say "Seneca Guns" which means nothing.
