Coventry bang/shock wave

SixTwoSix · 12 Apr 2012 at 18:16

Just heard a large bang somewhere in the distance and then a shockwave hit the entire building, few neighbours outside their houses also felt the same thing, anyone else in Coventry CV1/2 area feel anything?

It'll be the Muslims, they have to ply there trade elsewhere due to the Syrian ceasefire

Definitely seems like some sort of explosion.

Bloody explosions, coming here, ruining our jobs...

Felt it :/ Cant see nothing out my velux though. It was very boomy. Scared me.

Whereabouts are you in Coventry mate?

Felt it in rugby as well a few minutes ago. Sounded like a loud explosion but no sign of anything.

Sorry that was me, had a vindaloo last night.

Earlsdon way, it was enough to make me think wt* was that, hence why i came on here

We're in Rugby and we felt it. Dog went crazy.

Quick! to the Internet!

Right now that predictable saying is out of the way, what was it?

SixTwoSix · 12 Apr 2012 at 18:26

My facebook has just lit up with comments about it, all focused around binley area in coventry and a few folks from rugby.

Could have been a small earthquake. Sometimes they can sound like a "boom" apparently - that's what geologists over here said when a town near me experienced a similar thing.

We've got a lot of thunder and lightening down here in south wales, was shaking our building. Pretty damn loud though, and with hail showers...

When I was in cov for uni living near ikea we were evacuated due to an unexploded bomb (from the war) once... maybe one has finally gone off?

RomanNose · 12 Apr 2012 at 18:28

We heard it in Swindon! I thought it was the door then my dad phoned up and said he heard it.
I reckon it was the North Korean rocket.

Electronic Dave · 12 Apr 2012 at 18:29

No thunderstorms around that area on the rain radar - could be a gas explosion?

MeEsH BaKkA · 12 Apr 2012 at 18:29

Earthquake probs.

Edit: Just to clarify I know nothing and thought I would add to the speculation.

SixTwoSix · 12 Apr 2012 at 18:30

Swindon...bloody hell, not just local then!

Edrof · 12 Apr 2012 at 18:31

Reptillians are behind this! Seriously though, I hope nobody was hurt.

Geckovich · 12 Apr 2012 at 18:32

Earlsdon here. I heard nothing.
