I can imagine a scene at a local media office. Two guys talking about baseball. Then a massive BOOM! and the whole building shakes. The two men drop to their knees. "What the heck was that??" shouts the first one. "I don't know -- but it wasn't a terrorist attack!" shouts the second.

Yeah just like what they said last week that it was some kind of static from the lighting storm that came over Waco Texas...
