Concurrent Sound
Observation Yes
Remarks LOUD explosion that made me jump like a transformer blowing with a loud rumble that made the ground feel like a small earthquake that I experienced in DC in 2011-ish. First thinking it was thunder, then thinking no a transformer & then I had no idea but knew it wasn’t a sonic boom and thought it was eery and gave up.
Delayed Sound
Observation Yes
Remarks As I said above the LOUD explosive boom and then the ensuing rumble
