Not supposed to happen!!!
Supersonic runs over the Cheaspeake happen all of the time. 99% of the time they don't hit land. There are sonic boom detectors over the eastern shore and SOMD to monitor this sort of thing. Why the range controllers didn't stop after the first boom hit land is disturbing. I personally called to report to the range controllers that very loud sonic booms were hitting land after the second shook my ceiling tiles and got rebuffed. I was told that testing was completed. 15 minutes later I was nearly nocked out of my chair by the third.
I suspect that the person(s) responsible will be severely reprimanded.
Believe me, the base does not condone this disturbance of populated areas.

I miss that sound.
Not. When i lived in Florida, the shuttle was still flying quite frequently. I was repeatedly shaken out of my bed (it was a twin :shrug when the shuttle would re-enter the atmosphere. You haven't heard a sonic boom till you've heard that.
No matter how many times I heard it, I just couldn't get used to it...especially when attempting to sleep one off. the Booms usually hit around 8am. Daggum...would shake your teeth and make your heart jump thru your chest.

HHHmmmmmmm....I grew up in Florida too but the loudest sonic boom I heard was a sonic boom on the Nimitz when they did an airshow for a Tiger cruise. A sonic boom done only about couple hundred yards from the ship.
