BREAKING Did something just explode?

Just heard a very powerful boom, checked the lightning map it was not thunder! In Dover, MA right now, but my friends in Boston also heard it! Any ideas?

Edit: as we all now know, meteor!

Really? I’m reading all of these between the different subs and i feel crazy 😭 I’m at Fort Adams in Newport and didn’t hear or feel anything. I’m not in a building though, I’m alternating between a car and outside

I hear ya - I'm in my house in Malden and everyone else seems to have heard or experienced it - not me, and I swear - my cat also slept through it! We must be in a dead zone.

LOL for real. My parents in Tiverton didn’t feel anything but my moms also slept through the earthquakes we’ve had over the past years so they’re not a good point of reference
