DFW Scanner

We have received multiple reports of a loud boom heard across portions of northern DFW, especially in Wise and Denton counties. There is nothing noted on the USGS to indicate an earthquake, but we are checking with officials for any information.

We had several followers report their house shook. A loud boom was also heard. We don’t know an exact time, but somewhere around 10am.

We will update this post with any new information.

Update – One of our admins says Lockheed Martin had 2 F35 aircraft in this area, so the boom was likely a sonic boom from their training exercises.
