A loud boom can be a number of things. Sonic boom from something entering atmosphere, explosion, earthquake, lots of things.

Please let us know if any more information comes in because just saying a loud boom in some area doesn't explain much.

and boom goes the dynamite?

My mother in law heard nothing in South OKC

Seems to center in Midwest City/Del City area,which btw is the location of Tinker AFB...Sonic boom?

LOL!

Most likely.

I'll know for sure in a few hours.

Sonic booms are reported to have happened a few times at Tinker when pilots have gotten uh... enthusiastic about the capabilities of their aircraft.

Frakking??

Maybe it was a fireball entering atmosphere?

this sounds about right

A few local comments say an explosion at a recycling plant.

fracking aye right! It's all hollow down there now, like a drum.
