Hi folks:
I have a small piece of heaven (land) in the Pipes Canyon area (near Pioneertown) and as I was out walking around yesterday at about 1 or 2 in the afternoon, I heard two huge thundering sounds. I first thought it was thunder but although there was some overcast, it did not seem like the type of clouds that would produce a storm.
I have heard military practice bombing from my place (I'm about 30-60 miles away from the bombing range or so I thought) but it is not usually so loud! My mind was racing, is this thunder? is this military practice? is the U.S. being attacked? We did see a few choppers fly over immediately after so we assumed all was ok. Or as ok as it can be in that situation.
Did anyone else hear this yesterday?

Re: bomb blasts?
Thu, March 13, 2008 - 11:02 AMOh yeah! It's 29 Bombs!
You might notice that some explosions are bigger than others... they will often train to find a single land mine, but they also will bomb a field detinating multiples, causing some serious shakin. I often wonder how this might affect our local fault line. -

Sun, March 16, 2008 - 11:38 AMNice thing about living where I do here on the south side of JT up from the village - I never hear their "practice". I suspect that over time it will be something that you get used to somewhat. -

Sun, March 16, 2008 - 1:01 PMI live on the in between the village of Joshua Tree and the park entrance (west entrance), and i dont just hear them i feel them. Our house is no shack either. It rattles the windows and doors. It reminds me of the tremmors and aftershocks following the landers quake in '92.
