Speaking of being within 7 miles of fireworks....I lived in Shakopee....Valley Fair is technically in Shakopee...(our State's 6 flags amusement park type place) they have large firework displays on some weekends...I couldn't hear them other than a distance echo of the finale, and only if I was outside, and only if no one was talking or any car was driving by......less than 7 miles as the crow flies......
so........if Savage and west Bloomington heard the same boom, then it is on the news now....because if you got in your car in Savage, on hwy 13 and drove as fast as you could to either 169 or 35W, you couldn't get to this guys house in 7 minutes.....remember he said he heard the boom coming from the North....Savage is crow flying south.

Well, if you didn't see any flashes, it might be related to other locations where this has happened.
This one happened in Wisconsin and got quite a bit of attention:

Good point. I also think the "official" explanation for the event was B.S. Magnitude 1.5 most likely wouldn't have made that much noise. I've noticed these stories becoming a regular occurrence, kind of strange.
