We actually heard 2 booms this afternoon and they shook the house. I was sitting at the kitchen table finishing lunch and immediately started asking where everyone was because I thought maybe someone had hit a wall really hard. Nope, they were all in the schoolroom except Eldest who was in the front room on the computer. I went and checked all the bedrooms to make sure nothing had fallen through the roof. Since I saw no damage, I headed outside, after putting on a jacket due to the pretty chilly wind today. I didn't see anything on the roof and then it dawned on me. "What time is it?", I asked Eldest and ran into the house to find a news website on my computer. Sure enough, my conclusion was correct - we had heard and felt the sonic booms of the space shuttle reentering the atmosphere! Neat! We enjoyed the experience of watching it make it's landing here in FL via the internet.
