Residents across multiple Baltimore-area neighborhoods reported feeling the blast, with some describing loud booms.

A third person added, “Pumphrey/Brooklyn Park area here made my dogs bark and sounded like a transformer to me.”
One user from Brooklyn Park wrote, “Brooklyn Park here. The boom was so loud it sent our eldest bearded dragon into convulsions. She has been prone to these episodes ever since her last breeding session. She has just been so sensitive to any excessive noise or vibration. We are trying to keep her as warm and comfortable as possible, please send prayers.”
Another reported, "I was on the couch here in Severn right around Route 100 and I heard what I thought was someone jumping on my roof. Now it makes sense."
