BOOM.
Everybody’s talking about it. Or, at least, everyone who heard it. Last night there was a loud BOOM heard by folks in the Harpers Choice area. Some reported it came from near the hospital.
Did you hear it?
You can see discussion about this on Facebook, NextDoor, and Reddit. I spotted a mention on Twitter, as well. Apparently this was not the first occurrence of the Late Night BOOM. There has been at least one other. Naturally it has been suggested that this might be fireworks but the witnesses who have heard it seem unconvinced.
It’s one deep, loud, single BOOM. “Like a transformer exploding,” mentioned one person.
Yes, this has been reported to the police and no, they haven’t provided an answer as of yet.
If you hear it, what did it sound like to you?
In 2015 an explosion caused by a gas leak in a Columbia neighborhood created the kind of BOOM that alarms neighbors, and in 2017 a BOOM turned out to be an earthquake in Sykesville. More recently, in early June, a sonic boom caused by fighter jets alarmed some Columbia/HoCo residents.
To my knowledge, one single, solitary BOOM has never turned out to be good news. I could be wrong, however. If you have any inside info or plausible explanations I’d love to hear.
