Must have been a lot of dynamite, or they didn't dig the pit deep enough!

My goodness... I was in Durham near Farrington Road and I-40. It shook the house. Neighbors ran out side to see if a tree hit their house.

Hard to believe the explosion came from Chatham County. Wonder if it caused any damage there? I hope no one was hurt.

Glad to hear it wasn't just me. I was beginning to think it was something at my house.

yep, that was it .
Chatham 911 on Twitter stated there was dynamite found at a farm: @Chatham911's Tweet: https://twitter.com/Chatham911/status/575808047035064320?

you all should have neighbors that like to set off exploding targets...one gets kind of used to this type of thing, NOT .

I guess the low clouds caused the sound to travel a long way. We heard it in Morrisville for sure.

As far as exploding targets, my wife and I often hear what I assume are exploding targets on the weekend when we are on the American Tobacco trail, especially between 64 and the trailhead.

I live in Garner and heard it also! Around 7-7:30 PM. I actually thought it was thunder way off in the distance and pulled up the weather radar on my phone.

We were eating with the patio door open, and it was noticeable, but for some reason didn't have as much impact to us that others are citing.
But, just as the boom died down, an overhead plane came into RDU approach a bit low, and the coincidence of the two sounds led to brief and interesting discussion.
