Multiple sonic booms →[More:]Not just one rattling and shaking, but three. My house is shaking and the sliders are rumbling. What the heck is going on? I don't think the shuttle is landing it just took off.

I hear some jets and helicopters now.

That is all.

Pilot probably forgot his wallet, had to turn around. Happens to me all the time.

Multiples? Must have been a female plane.

It must be thunder. It's gone. That was some crazy, crazy thunder.

When I was a kid fighter pilots used to sonic boom our (hippie-filled) valley for a couple hours at a time. Maybe you're just the unlucky victim of a bored pilot.

Maybe you're right, sr. It sure was rattling my chest. My chair was shaking.

Drove us crazy because my mom worked graveyard at the ER and then couldn't sleep with the booms during the day.
