It absolutely can. I was alive when these were regular occurrences.

The kids these days have no idea what they are missing.

Oh, yes it can.

Last time I heard/felt a blast that shook the house, Columbia disintegrated over North Texas upon re-entry.

We have a super sonic flight test corridor we use that runs from west of Fort Worth up into Oklahoma.

They are not supposed to fly M > 1.0 over major population centers, but it happens sometimes - especially if it's a "special" air vehicle.

Did the Quakers notice this?

Yes, Apparently Ketch ate Mexican for lunch and then went to a Cigar bar for his latest OrangeBloods Fan Fiction piece and Ka-Boom...

This is it…Fat Ketch was farting because of the lunch burritos! The friction from his arse set the farts off.. someone let the Kimgwpod FD know

Just heard several loud bangs in Kingwood area about twenty minutes ago…either gunshots or fireworks is what it sounded like.

Posting here since it seems we have several Kingwood residents and curious if anyone knows what that was.

I'm in Atascocita off W Lake Houston and heard it. Loud enough that I went outside and looked around. Went back in the house and forgot all about it until seeing this thread.
