Sorry to disappoint you Jim, but I live in Simi Valley, closer by 15 miles
than you and I heard, very distinctly the normal two booms.  I must say
that this time I wasn't expecting hearing them since I thought the weather
would clear in Fla. but I was awake when it flew over.  Perhaps the first
one woke you up and you only heard the second one.
