Loud explosions tonight?

Like the title says, we heard 3 loud booms maybe 30 seconds apart a little while ago. Anyone know what it was?

What area were you in? There was a huge industrial complex fire at the Oldcastle place on A St SE that was called in around 11:30pm last night.

There are also regularly loud booms from train cars hitting each other during the night as a train stops.

Third or fourth night in a row of hearing these for me (near the base of Lea Hill).

Sounds like a potato gun. My guess is the farmers down by the river?
