Strange booms, בום מוזר נשמע

Many bloggers reported lately about strange, mysterious booms being heard at strange times of the day, sometimes regularly.   Well, Moriya's Place is happy to report that this noise has also been heard in our community this past week -- on Wednesday and on this past Shabbos.  On Shabbos, we heard the noise during lunch and after lunch.  Construction does not occur on weekends over here.  Unfortunately, we cannot disclose our location, but suffice it to say, it is somewhere in the USA.  The sounds we heard resemble that of thunder and explosion, but there were no rain or rain storms.  We did not feel any trembling, however, just heard sounds.  This has to come in during Parashas Yisro, where the Jews experienced thunder, lightning and shofar during Matan Torah.  The best thing is to show you some videos that show similar noises being heard all over the world.







This video illustrates that you should not call 911 if you experience a big boom, as they won't have an answer. Sounds hilarious!


We have yet to hear the "shofar" sounds heard elsewhere, but will keep you posted if and when we encounter it.

It is quite possible that the mysterious booms were caused by minor earthquakes that are rarely felt. We were all prepared to recite the bracha "kocho ugvuraso maley olam!"  Hashem is preparing us for Moshiach! Very exciting.
