Three explosions? - Upper Harbour

**Karma** · 22nd June 2007, 10:22

Anyone here from the greenhithe / upper harbour area just hear three huge bangs at about 10? I'm talking to the point they shook the floor a little and tiped my lamp over.

Can't see anything on the herald, but I'm 95.6584% sure I didn't imagine it.

Nah, not thunder, I've heard thunder and this was short, sharp and regular.

Odd I know... only other thing I thought is that someone's been hit by lightning, but it's pissing it down so I'll check later.

Perhaps it was from Hobsonville airbase???

There is a current power outage in Birkenhead... it was first reported at 10.17am... may have something to do with it??... it is currently under investigation and estimated restoration time is 12.30...

Aussie F111's are in the country at the mo (low level terrain navigation) & are one of few that can break the sound barrier at low level. It may have been accidental (yeah right) but with thunder around they may have thought about getting away with it.
