Loud banging/explosions heard in Northern Frisco, Tx . . possibly all the way to Celina.

This morning, October 23, 2012 around 12:30am a loud distinct noise was heard in Northern Frisco along Main St, and possibly as far north as Celina. It sounded like we were at war, like a gun fight, but the sound shook my windows. Right after the sound both my father and I woke and went outside to hear what sounded like horses going nuts in the distance. The sound seemed to have startled an entire neighborhood of people, but the police didn't hear it. Several people called the police at which time they were told over a dozen calls had come in to report shots fired in their area; given the wide-spread of people who posted on FB about this (at approximately the same time) there is no way it could have been gun shots. Does anyone here have any idea what this may have been? I have searched, and researched but I can find nothing on the subject!
