You heard it first: Sonic booms rattle Las Cruces

Okay now all of those a few minutes ago were sonic booms? I opened the door as it happened and it shook. These are too close to town.

Yes I believe all those heard at about 2 pm were super sonic booms. I heard and felt about three within a one or two minute period.

I'm in Las Cruces, not Albuquerque. Those were not airplane sonic booms that shook our house. Some kind of ground munitions.

With the mountain range on the east side of town, it is possible that the sound waves created are intensified as they are reflected back onto the last waves to come from the boom. Yes the ground shook on the north side of town on the other side of 25; it did sound like a quarry being blasted with dynamite.

When someone notices a few pipes on the Organs have started to slide down the side of mountain, they will finally see this is not the place to create the sound of freedom, it has been an attack on the environment. I can't imagine how the woman with the crumbling ceiling from a few months back is faring now.
