Was the boom I just felt in San Diego another one of these Pendleton booms felt all over the county, or was it local? I'm guessing it was not an earthquake!

Here's another tracker. These are Navy KC-130J refueling tankers circling off the coast of San Diego. We can't see what they are refueling, which means it's not transmitting any signal. Anyone want to bet that whatever they are refueling caused the boom at 4:34pm? #earthquake pic.twitter.com/5dzvXmoeXK
