(British Columbia, Canada) Life is full of mysteries: why hot water freezes faster than cold, how they built the pyramids, why anyone listens to Rush Limbaugh.
And now, or perhaps still, The Rumbles.
Three times Thursday morning, an unexplained phenomenon rattled windows, dishes and nerves from Langford to Otter Point, even knocking down an old barn.
It sounded like sustained thunder, or God bowling. Some feared it was an earthquake, others suspected blasting, while still others thought it was bad choices from the '60s coming home to roost.
"It's still pretty much of a mystery," said Otter Point's Sharon Hanslip on Friday.
The episodes came at 9: 30 a.m, 10 and 11, the last the most intense. "It shook the house and brought down the barn."
