Probably too far from us but we had one a few months back - a very loud bang, like an aeroplane breaking the sound barrier and everything vibrated for a few seconds. It was very spooky until we found out what it was.
That said, we did hear what we thought was a rumble of thunder around that time last night, but thought nothing of it.

4.2 is a tea cup rattler. Major structural damage is unlikely unless the structure is badly maintained.

:lol: I want to open a bar that serves nothing but expensive beer and baked beans. I'll call it Farts & Crafts.

:lol: In Heinz sight what a terrible joke

I heard it too .. as it sounded exactly like a rumble of thunder I ignored it as it was blowing a hoolie and raining hard at the time.
