Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
Anyone else been hearing low booms all day today? Sound like distant canons or thunder - but they're so short, it doesn't last like thunder. Sounds a lot like big artillery or sonic booms. Is it just me??

I live in Bristow, VA and have heard the sounds since 11:30am, for about a little over an hour it has been quite. Such a wide range of areas have been hearing the booms, only logical place would be Quantico, can't think of any other place.
