Booms are Back
This phenomena is known as the "Seneca Guns," and has been going on for hundreds of years. The name comes from Seneca Lake in New York, where the same sorts of sounds have been heard for years. Author James Fenimore Cooper called these booms the Seneca Guns in one of his short stories. Scientists say they are not earthquakes, thunder or sonic booms caused by supersonic planes, which are not allowed to fly across the continent.

i recall reading somewhere, a long time ago, about lewis and clark writing about similar phenomena in the rockies; they compared it to cannon fire.
I had no idea "gangsta rap" was that old...
