OT: Ice quakes

[uconnfan68]

Sunday night I was sitting downstairs by myself when I heard a loud thud upstairs, like a piece of large furniture falling over. I rushed upstairs and my daughter was fine...went into the bedroom and the wife was half asleep, had no idea what I was talking about when I asked her about the loud boom. Guess it was one of these.

In our house that’s just the 7# cat jumping off her nap bed. We couldn’t believe such a little ninja cat could make such a ruckus.

yeah. I thought it was a tree but I was told it was most likely the deck if you have one

Walked out on my deck yesterday morning and boom. Scared the cap out of me. It was loud !

I've heard 3 of them already tonight. Must be due to the melting and refreezing of the ice.

NBC Connecticut channel 30 had a whole story about the ice quakes. Guess a lot of people reported a huge boom at that time. Heard one too around 11:30 like loads of people. I too jumped 4 feet in the air while lying down and felt like a tree fell on my house. I guess ice quakes are rare in ct but frequent in Northern New England. It happens when the temp drops really fast.

It's either bigfoot or aliens.

It's either bigfoot or aliens.

I'd go with Bigfoot throwing rocks, cuz that's what they do.

Just joking. We had a big branch bounce off the roof at night in an ice storm some years ago. Ba-BOOM-thud. My wife levitated at least 3-4 feet from the bed. Led to a massive campaign to remove trees from the lot. So I appreciate the worries. Not to mention the roof repairs.

I heard a loud boom around midnight I thought it was either the damn breaking or a tree falling on my house. Turns out it was probably one of these. Anyone else catch one?

Me too. Our house shook.

I ended up going outside to look at our roof.

I swear I thought part of the roof collapsed.
