Sounded like distant booms or thunder [img]smile.gif[/img] Now when the Space Shuttle comes in to land in the Cape in FL, You can REALLY hear the sonic boom as it comes in!!! I mean, it scared the crap out of me the first time we hear it--sounded like someone crashed into our house lol! VERY loud!! [img]smile.gif[/img] I remember the first year I moved to Florida, and one night, there was a shuttle going up at night, and I walked to the sliding glass door to see if I could see it (It was a clear night) and WOW! It lit up the sky like the sun almost [img]smile.gif[/img] It was so cool.

The Shuttle is awesome to watch on take off [img]smile.gif[/img]
