BOOM: Did You Hear That?

Boom! A loud rumble barreled across the Philadelphia region this morning.

Tweets with the word "shook" skyrocketed moments after a loud thunder clap was heard about 10:20 a.m. Was it an earthquake? No, the loud boom heard was thunder.

NBC10 chief meteorologist Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz says it was caused by lightning that amplified due to the cold air.
