Yes - something here in Welwyn. No idea what it was....
Edit... It reminded me of the Buntsford fuel depot explosion though perhaps not quite as powerful

I am living between Potters Bar and Cheshunt in Herts and was just woken but a massive explosion which shook the whole house. Did anyone else hear anything?

Apparently sonic booms from two RAF Typhoons taking off - amazed the energy could be that great. Heard from Heathrow to Hitchin!

For those who are a bit rusty when it comes to science lessons (like me...):
Sonic boomb's from RAF aircraft having been called upon to intercept a passenger aircraft that was not responding to radio communication.
I heard it too. Seems like a bit of a coincidence that the NATO summit starts at The Grove in Watford tomorrow.
It’s what happens when the RAF are in a hurry to get to‘work’.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
I reckon the heard about the Black Friday deals on Bremont
It woke me up this morning. The wife didn't hear a thing.
There was one a few months ago that had the whole street out wondering what had happened.
They are really loud.
Didn’t hear this one, but as you mentioned there was one a few months ago on a Saturday. I was at work in the office (mainly glass building? and is shook the glass panes, so much so, we though someone had driven into the front of the building.
No idea yet why the RAF were deployed. Maybe it’s the Ruskies popping over for a Sunday Roast or Pie and Mash.

I shouldn't have had that vindaloo last night
We used to regularly get this in Devon in the 70’s as Concorde came back through the sound barrier on its approach to the UK.
Certainly shook the windows then !

It turns out that the pilot of the 767 was a little bit startled too - https://www.timesofisrael.com/pilot-...-heart-attack/
Assumed it was the Rolex bubble bursting overhead.
I'm sure Bark and jack will be making a video on it this week.
