The boom heard 'round Indy

  1. At about 11:10 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 10, people from miles away reported hearing a loud, thunderous boom from the Southside of Indianapolis. Those who heard it immediately went to Twitter to see what the noise was -- and if they were alone in hearing it.
  2. They weren't.
