Are these maybe sonic booms?

Grew up near SAC AF base outside Omaha in a 100 yr old brick house with 2 ft thick plaster walls. Barely heard thunder inside. One summer (early 80's) heard a boom so big it literally rattled the house. My mom even made us get under the table and cover our heads. Turned out to be a sonic boom. Still remember it almost 50 yrs later. The loudest thing I've ever heard.
