Intense, Explosion-like Sounds Heard Around Killeen/HH Area? (Austin, Temple: 2013, house)

[Jink]

Anybody else been hearing these? They started around 1:30AM and lasted for about 20 minutes or so? I'm not in the Army, so please excuse the ignorance of this question, but could they be testing bombs or something?

Have you called 911 or the local media? Please contact them and report back. I haven't heard anything here in central Austin..

I've been zonked out and didn't hear a thing up this way.

Could it have been artillery practice? We're down near Jarrell and it took us a while to find out that those booms we'd hear periodically and that rattle our windows that were clearly not thunder and sure SOUNDED like artillery were, indeed, artillery way up at Fort Hood. I'd guess something like that.

Artillery noise can carry for scores of miles.

When I lived in Temple, the artillery practice was pretty common. We lived in Morgan's Point by the lake, so the sound carried. It was not uncommon to have loud explosions that shook the house and made all the pictures on my wall crooked!

Its Feb of 2013 and I'm fairly new to Killeen. Its around 11:30 and I'm hearing these loud wall shaking booms repetitively for about 20+ minutes. Its pretty alarming. No one else seems to be making a stink about it so it must be normal. I hope.
