Video report covering this and more




- Corpus Christi, Texas
Reported 12/29

"A loud boom Sunday evening sent many people out of their homes and sent emergency crews scouring the city for answers."
"The city's 911 system was flooded with calls around 630PM from people all over town, who either heard the boom, or had their homes shake from the sound wave"
[link to www.kristv.com]

- Moniteau County, Missouri
Reported 12/29

"Authorities investigating reports of "loud booms" in Moniteau County"
[link to www.abc17news.com]

- Eureka, California
Reported 12/29

"Again with the booming"
"shook the windows"

In the comments other locations people said they heard and felt booms as well.
[link to lostcoastoutpost.com]

- Bronx, New York
Reported 12/30

"An explosion in the Bronx borough of New York City rocked houses on Monday night, prompting residents to wonder what caused the vibrations across Scarsdale, Pelham Bay, Country Club and other areas, as well as Westchester."

"This whole 'large box of fireworks was detonated' excuse seems thin. You don't feel an explosion in Westchester from fireworks in the Bronx."

"Those were definitely not fireworks!" she said. "Every single house in Country Club shook."

[link to www.theepochtimes.com]

- Burlington, Vermont & Middlebury, Vermont
Reported 12/30

"What are those loud booms you're hearing"
[link to www.wptz.com]

Booms and shaking have been ongoing here for a few days now.
[link to www.wcax.com]

Check the comments, still ongoing:

Middlebury: [link to www.addison-eagle.com]

- Cranston, Rhode Island
Reported 12/30

"Cranston felt a boom that rattled windows, shook houses and sent alarms and pets into a frenzy."
[link to cranston.patch.com]

- Many areas in Illinois
Reported 12/30

"And down the road from her in Rockton, Marcie Severson-Haselton said she heard three loud booms."

[link to addins.wrex.com]

[link to www.facebook.com (secure)]

- Durham and Newcastle, Ontario
Reported 12/30

"If Durham residents were wakened by a loud boom early Monday morning, it was most likely Mother Nature dealing with the sudden fluctuation in temperatures."
[link to www.durhamregion.com]
cruise norespect

- Brockville, Ontario
Reported 12/30

"Some describe it as a boom, others more of a pop, and there have been reports of it in Brockville and across Eastern Ontario."
[link to www.1049jrfm.com]



- York, Kawartha Lakes and Peterborough, Ontario
Reported 12/30

"People were awoken again this morning (December 30th) by loud "Kaboom!" noises"
"They reported their walls shook, and that it sounded like the roof was collapsing."
[link to www.ptbocanada.com]

- Toronto, Ontario
Reported 12/30

"The mysterious booms continue across Toronto."

But finally some truth from a media outlet, speaking some sense instead the "ice quakes" BS

"However, it doesn't explain why many of the reports come around the same time across a wide area. And why is this one of the first times this has been widely reported across southern Ontario when we are no stranger to the ups and downs of temperatures?"
[link to globalnews.ca]

Here's another great quote that shows how ridiculous these ice excuses are:

"A cryoseism, also known as a frost quake, is so rare in the Greater Toronto Area that 30-year weather veteran and Environment Canada meteorologist Geoff Coulson hadn't dealt with the phenomenon until local reports started coming in on Christmas Day.

"They are incredibly rare," he said in an interview on Dec. 30."

[link to www.durhamregion.com]

Just take a look at all the areas up here that just reported booms...


boommap

This isn't the first time multiple booms reports hit during the same period.

Thread: Booms & shaking reported by the media in 11 different states country wide during past week! 5 States hit at nearly same time! COVER UP = BLASTED!

Lets go to last December, just like there were booms in Rhode Island and Texas just now, happened last December as well!
Thread: Earth Booms and ground shaking reported by news in 7 states country wide within 24 hours (Dec 5th)



So what's really going on?
Well one month ago I forecasted ALL this to occur, including pin pointing where!

This is a must read thread for those whom want to take a red pill.

Thread: The Earth Booms & strange sounds are coming + New Madrid earthquake uptick! Based on previous accurate booms forecast!

Here is a quote from that thread:

"So what is coming?

While booms will occur in many places, the primary place of focus is the Eastern half of the United State, primarily from Texas, Oklahoma on through the New Madrid to areas near the St. Lawrence Seaway.
The evidence from last year strongly showed pressure building from New Madrid trying to move or have a major adjustment in the diagonal fashion causing booms throughout the East half of the states."

"There's no way to tell for sure how bad it will be, however what is for sure is that the booms will increase as well as earthquakes in number and severity for this region.
I would expect that if the booms reach a scale which completely blows what happened last year away out the water.. then we should start getting concerned."


There's been many more booms which I have yet to report (some shown in video above).
However what is happening now is too important for me to let pass without it being reported.
All around Canada St. Lawrence and Northern Vermont has now been having ongoing booms and shaking reported, which I specifically pointed out and forecasted to occur one month ago as "areas around the St. Lawrence Seaway", a "primary place of focus".

This shit is getting real.
Hope yall are starting to see the real picture and that we aren't being told the real story.

Great work, as always, Bending Light! I look forward to your threads and posts more than any others because you do NOT fear monger, you don't give a timeframe as to when the New Madrid will actually "go", and your information is presented in an intelligent and organized way without being too "highbrow". So, once again, KUDOS to you!

However, for what it's worth, when we first moved to the Lakes Region of Maine (we're now in Colorado, btw), I was startled many times by very loud booms that WERE caused by ice on a "pond". (The reason for the quotation marks is because ponds in Maine can be VERY large, as the difference between ponds and lakes -- at least in Maine, I was told -- is depth, not area. Moose Pond, about a mile from where we lived, had a surface area of about 12 square miles.)

Anyway, my point is that if I had been monitoring GLP back then (several years ago), and there was a similar thread to this one, I would have thought "EARTHQUAKE BOOM!!" and reported it. However, I can't remember now if there was any accompanying shaking, but those booms were LOUD!!! I do remember thinking that there must have been some horrific explosion close by.

So just be on guard that some of the reports you receive MIGHT actually be ice-related!

which they say might be an "Front quake" from ice causing booms and people dishes rattling lol

they said it happened Thursday the 19th

Okay, BL, you started to make me believe I was delusional, so I did some checking to see if anyone else DID hear what I heard. I found the following on Yahoo Answers that described what I heard, as well, and someone replied with an answer. Here it is:

"Why does the ice on a frozen lake make loud thunderlike sounds?"

richardson418 asked 6 years ago

Best Answer (Voter's Choice)

Mike1942f answered 6 years ago

"Ice expands and contracts with changes in temperature, as do most materials. The amount it can change is moderated by the mass of water underneath, but almost nothing is as big as a sheet of ice - pavement being closest, but it is sliced so that seams exist to open with cold and close with heat. The ice gets under great strain and then a crack starts and fires across hundreds of yards or even miles of ice. Depending on where you are listening with respect to the crack, the sound varies from a sharp "crack" to an intense rumble. Normally, water flows in the crack and freezes quickly.

"In the northern USA, ice commonly gets 1-2 feet thick and cars can be driven on the surface. Further north, where it is even thicker, roads are plowed and maintained and heavy trucks make deliveries avoiding the mess when the tundra defrosts."


However, what I heard, as I recall, DID sound more like a cannon boom than thunder, but as it was several years ago, I could be wrong! (And I think it's also possible that atmospheric conditions might have made the sound seem louder and carry further than it normally would have.)


P.S. I am definitely NOT trying to start an argument with you or anyone else! I was just sharing my experience. hf

I heard two booms last night a minute or so apart around 11 pm. This was in far west Texas, so it wasn't ice related.

I thought the first one was a gun shot, which is reasonably common out here with the low population density and high varmint count. The second report was Big though. It shuddered the casita a little.

I ran outside thinking it might have been a meteor, but didn't see any lingering light trails. A few people heard it as well, but no one was outside to have seen something associated with the sounds.

just adding to the count...

These "ice quakes" are so rare that over a 30 year career a Canada meteorologist NEVER dealt with them until NOW.
AND when "they" happen it's supposed to be very localized, not even going beyond a few blocks away!

Exactly, across 200 miles in Canada it's been booming and shaking, then add it Rhode Island, Vermont, and Illinois ALL booming over great distances on the same day!
Doesn't fit with these events being extremely rare and localized.

Exactly, across 200 miles in Canada it's been booming and shaking, then add it Rhode Island, Vermont, and Illinois ALL booming over great distances on the same day!
Doesn't fit with these events being extremely rare and localized.

Re: Booms & shaking reported by news in 7 states & across a 200 mile region in Canada reported ALL in past day! As forecasted?
Okay, BL, you started to make me believe I was delusional, so I did some checking to see if anyone else DID hear what I heard. I found the following on Yahoo Answers that described what I heard, as well, and someone replied with an answer. Here it is:

"Why does the ice on a frozen lake make loud thunderlike sounds?"

"Ice expands and contracts with changes in temperature, as do most materials. The amount it can change is moderated by the mass of water underneath, but almost nothing is as big as a sheet of ice - pavement being closest, but it is sliced so that seams exist to open with cold and close with heat. The ice gets under great strain and then a crack starts and fires across hundreds of yards or even miles of ice. Depending on where you are listening with respect to the crack, the sound varies from a sharp "crack" to an intense rumble. Normally, water flows in the crack and freezes quickly.

"In the northern USA, ice commonly gets 1-2 feet thick and cars can be driven on the surface. Further north, where it is even thicker, roads are plowed and maintained and heavy trucks make deliveries avoiding the mess when the tundra defrosts."


However, what I heard, as I recall, DID sound more like a cannon boom than thunder, but as it was several years ago, I could be wrong! (And I think it's also possible that atmospheric conditions might have made the sound seem louder and carry further than it normally would have.)


P.S. I am definitely NOT trying to start an argument with you or anyone else! I was just sharing my experience. hf

I lived in Wisconsin before, when it got very cold my wooden deck would get making cracking popping sounds.
What's going on here is way different.

Lets bring out some quotes to show WHY.

"A cryoseism, also known as a frost quake, is so rare in the Greater Toronto Area that 30-year weather veteran and Environment Canada meteorologist Geoff Coulson hadn’t dealt with the phenomenon until local reports started coming in on Christmas Day.
“They are incredibly rare,” he said in an interview on Dec. 30."

"He said a frost quake, which can cause booms and even rattle windows, is very localized. If a cryoseism occurs on one street, people a few blocks away may not hear it."

These "ice quakes" are so rare that over a 30 year career a Canada meteorologist NEVER dealt with them until NOW.
AND when "they" happen it's supposed to be very localized, not even going beyond a few blocks away!
