Boom?
We’ve gotten reports from Church Hill to Woodville of 3 loud booms shortly after midnight. Anybody got any info?
The RTD is reporting that three manhole covers blew on the 300 block of East Franklin but puts at about 2AM.

We heard it around midnight. We live near 25th and Grace, and it sounded quite loud.
I heard it twice on 32nd and Broad at 12:26am. It sounded like small explosions out in Shockoe Valley where the CSX runs.
RTD is reporting it was a blown transformer.

Citizen Tom, your link is to a story about blown manhole covers, at 2 a.m., in the 300 block of West Franklin Street. Doesn’t sound like the same thing…?
It was about 12:30… 12:27 to be exact. It sounded like thunder and as if it came from the west. I texted a friend at VCU who didn’t hear anything. I was baffled until I saw that article but their time is off… if that is what it was.
I heard it, too (corner of 27th and Leigh)! I knew it couldn’t be thunder because we just got a foot of snow, meaning the dew point/humidity was very low but had no other ideas. So blown manhole covers eh? Neat.
Oh yeah, it was around 12:30am because I wasn’t up at 2am.
Remember those kids who terrorized Ginter Park a couple of years ago with dry ice bombs?
It was manhole covers blowing up due to an electrical transformer malfuction. No one was hurt.
Not about the boom, but did anyone else hear the three long horn like noises around 1 am on Feb 3 (Night of Feb 2).
It was a neopagan holiday, but if that what it was they were an hour off…
