[quote:Anonymous Coward 14599672:MV8xOTA2NDc3XzMyMzYwNjgzXzRGREY2NkZF] Hi all, I'm the original poster. To the people who live near Belcher and Gulf-to-Bay, maybe the noise was related to our terrible storm yesterday, although what you (last night's posters) described sounded similar to the noise I heard back when I made my first post. If you weren't in town during the storm, to let you know how bad it was, my next door neighbors (two sets) went into their safe areas that they have for tornado times and I made a beeline for mine, too, around 8:00 or so. Another neighbor two houses away had one quarter of his two-three stories high oak tree fall on his house. I don't know if it was still storming at 3 am, but maybe there was some ducting going on from a storm in another part of the state. To the person who mentioned cicadas, their sound is high pitched, unlike the rumbling sound I heard. We haven't had any cicada noises this summer. I remember reading thirty years ago that they go underground for seventeen or eighteen years before emerging as adults. Thanks for the science lesson for people who don't know about them. Thanks to the people who have posted. I haven't heard that noise again, although I've been hearing plenty of thunder, including right now. [/quote]

I woke up in the middle of the night and heard more noise than the white noise from my fan that I always keep going. I turned the fan off and listened. I think it happened about three times and lasted for about a minute each. I wondered if I should hit the deck because a tornado was about to hit. I turned on Bay News 9 to see if there was any report about loud rumbling noises in the sky (tornadoes, jets flying where they shouldn't, etc.) It wasn't raining but rain was predicted. This morning I checked to see if I could find anything on the internet--but nothing. I don't get that. I couldn't have been the only person to hear it.
