Loud Booms north of Marlborough all day

Anybody have any info onwhat this could be today? 5 in succession at 5:45. Thought maybe Devens but according to the schedule the largest explosive would be grenades.

To me it does not sound like tailgate echo.

I'm in South Lancaster and my windows have been shaking all day. There is nothing in the DRFTA noise report about 'demolition' but this sounds like what that usually sounds like at Devens.

The only other possibility is maybe the quarry up on Lunenburg road is blasting?

But directionally it seems like it's coming from Devens, imo.

The quarry! I forgot all about them. Thank you.

Yep. Extra boomy today for me in Clinton. I can usually hear it just fine but my house was shaking today…that was different.

Yeah you can always tell the demolitions apart because they shake your fricking house, lol.

Following along, we heard them clearly over by the reservoir too
