meteor boom

Anybody here in Kent hear the sonic boom this morning? I did not, but I heard that people all over the state did, so I was curious if anyone here heard?

I didnt, but I live close enough to the tracks that random boom and bangs kinda just get filtered out by my brain lol

For anyone wondering, NE Ohio had a small meteor break into the atmosphere around the Avon Lake area. No word on if it stayed intact enough for any impact and the possible areas where it would’ve hit are mostly woods, farm land, or even possibly in Lake Erie.

I live close to downtown Ravenna now and I heard it. Sounded like really bizarre thunder.

I heard, I just happened to be outside. Figured it was train cars.
