Did you feel it? Viewers report hearing mystery 'boom' across Mass.

Did you hear or feel it? Viewers from across Massachusetts are reporting hearing a loud boom Saturday afternoon, but it's not immediately clear what it was.

Viewers shared similar experiences with WCVB, thinking a tree hit their home or a transformer blew up just after 2 p.m.

" ... the whole house, actually all houses in the neighborhood shook. Much louder than a transformer exploding and definitely not an earthquake," one viewer from Melrose wrote.

"We live in Wellesley and just heard what sounded like an explosion about 10 minutes ago. We understand it was felt over many areas," another viewer wrote.

"We heard it in Newtonville and it was enough to set off the dog and make me think a big tree had come down because of the wind," another viewer said.

WCVB has reached out to state officials and the US Geological Survey for more information.
