Default South Florida people, listen up!

Sorry for the short notice, but in the next half hour you might hear the Space Shuttle on its way home!

Listen for a double-sonic-boom as its signature shockwave passes overhead on its way towards landing at Kennedy Space Center. I won't be able to hear it from Oklahoma, but I'd love to know that somebody gets to!

Yup! They're on the ground, but still locked up inside, I think. Probably trying to remember how to walk.

My cousin emailed me a few minutes afterwards. He said, after I sent him the email, that he went outside, expecting it to be lame, but then heard it very clearly, and it was loud enough to rattle the windows!

I got to hear it on TV at least! But it didn't even buzz the speakers.

Well I've never heard any sonic booms, so I hate you now.

It shook my house a bit. Truth be told department, I was asleep when it happened, and the noise woke me up. If Jacob had not reminded me as to what it was, I would have remained a bit in the dark.
