Did You Hear ‘Frightening’ Loud Booms Tuesday Night?

An Altadena resident shared that she heard loud “frightening” boom sounds consistently throughout Tuesday night but the Altadena Sheriff’s Station has no report of anything happening. Did you hear or see anything?

Was your Tuesday night disturbed by the sounds of loud booms? It was for one Altadena resident, who told Patch via email that she heard these mystery sounds all night:

I live in NW Altadena near Lincoln & Loma Alta Dr & on last evening, Tuesday - Dec 4, 2012, I kept hearing 'loud boom' sounds every 10-15 minutes. These sounds continued all night - very frightening - I called the Sheriff's Dept to report it - I never found out what this noise was. Did anyone else hear this and do you know what it was? I know that street lights are being put up on the corner of Altadena Dr & Lincoln.

The watch commander for the Altadena Sheriff’s Station told Patch Wednesday that nothing else was reported about any loud “boom” sounds and there was no explanation for them.

The most notable thing that happened Tuesday night, according to the watch commander’s report of the Altadena crime log, was a call to report a beauty salon fire in town but when fire officials showed up there was no fire to be seen.

Did you hear any loud boom sounds Tuesday or see anything causing a loud sound? Tell us in the comments.

Thank you for reminding me I don't need to respond to your posts. Sometimes I want to. I've toldRead More you before I would under certain circumstances, which were met this time. Is that a problem for you? Complain to the Editor.

The article I cited was last updated 28.5 hours before the time stamp on your post. That's one heckRead More of a "snag". You better complain to Ms. Hamlin about that.

korn, When I wrote the above comment it was fact. It did not post for a while do to some snag. TheyRead More changed the order afterword. Your continued ignorance of subjects while calling me names with every post is old. You don't need to respond to me anymore

When the photo is clicked the screen turns dark, and unresponsive. The page has to be closed, andRead More then open a new one. I hope you find your cat. When you do, if you want to add..... I have kittens. one of which looks a lot like the one you show.

Jessica, I am glad to see the story is different from the original article I read. Once I see theRead More picture of your beautiful face on Patch news, I know everything is going to be O.K.

For crying out loud! You can't even spell "secede" and you want to run your own state?

Thanks again for all the feedback. The photo banner is distracting? How so? And I just postedRead More something last night and the site is updated daily so I am interested in what "old" articles means. Though the commenting stream is not here, the commenting process is still the same and just as easy, so share and comment away. :) Thanks!

I agree with Lisa. The home page is a mess. The distracting big banner at the top needs to go, orRead More perhaps the way the rest of the page is inset into it. It's a major design fail. Plus there's very little up-to-date news, the articles are old, and I can't be bothered to search through the blogs and boards, interesting though they may be. Thank goodness Altadenblog is still there. It's now my go-to site for current Altadena news.

I think the main issue is the lack of the comment stream - you could see what people were talkingRead More about, and you were often drawn in - and could find the article simply by clicking on the comment. It was the main advantage AltadenaPatch had over AltadenaBlog - much more engaging. No more.

That was a bug that has been worked out I believe, but thank you for the feedback. I appreciate yourRead More patience with our growing pains as part of our easier new layout.

No. no emails here. But it does look like everyone "has left the building". No one isRead More commenting since the changed. perhaps everyone is shell-shocked.
