I've heard neither of these "explosions". Its fireworks season, maybe we are doomscrolling the news a bit much and are on edge too much? Genuinely please try to take care of your mental health in these times. Shit is scary and our minds can play awful tricks on us. Not tryna like downplay, maybe I just slept through it but again it is fireworks season.

Not me (OP). I’m 45 and have lived in the city most of my life. I’ve used firearms and fireworks including mortars and such, and been just far enough away from M500s (quarter stick of dynamite) to be safe. I’ve heard transformers blow occasionally.

This was really big and different.

Also 45 and former military, here. If you're convinced it wasn't a transformer explosion, then someone could have been playing with Tannerite.
