The boom, boom, booming is driving me nuts! I noticed it last night and it has continued this morning. We live near Davis, Highway 55, and Morrisville-Carpenter Road. Any ideas as to what this is?
The Marines have landed. The 10th Marine Regiment is here for their twice annual Rolling Thunder training. The bulk of their live-fire training will take place April 30 through May 13, as they fire significant amounts of 155mm ammunition. The Marines will comply with requirements that prohibit fires larger than battalion size between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. and from firing from 10 a.m. to noon on Sundays.
I'm just a wee bit closer to Ft. Bragg than you are (like a couple miles closer, LOL) and haven't heard or felt a thing. It must be something farther north than I am. Are they doing construction at Morrisville Parkway and NC55? They've been clearing land there for a while.
You might hear the quarry on Durant blasting ,but not likely at those hours. I lived on Millbrook near Glenwood for a short while, and used to hear blasting at one of the nearby quarries. I worked nights, so I heard it during the day.
Probably the sound of more townhouses being built!
