    I'm hearing it too hear in NW houston. It just quit. It was a continous booming
    for at least a good ten minutes. I don't know what the hell it was.

    That was nuts. Any clue on what it was? I live in the Memorial City area (Bunker Hill Village) and it just ended. No visual conformation on fireworks, though...

    It's either UT fans or Sooner alumnis...but not Red Raider fans cause their guns would be empty...

    Yeah. I can't figure it out. It sounded like the bombing of baghdad. Or a war in space.

    I checked some local news sites, no news. I thought for sure the end was upon us.

    Man I was also wondering what that was! Lasted for a good 10 minutes. I kept thinking it was my neighbors shooting off guns or something. I'm in the Heights.

    A major 15 minute firework show in Houston that no one knew about?

    If it was some sort of factory explosion, wheres the emergency sirens? I haven't heard one.

    I think that was some sort of upper atmosphere phenemenon.

    You Houston dwellers are not alone. I was in my back yard in central Austin and got to watch about 15 minutes of fireworks behind the field for no apparent reason. Did Luke kill Vader? I didn't hear Yub Nub?
