It was comical to see everyone in the neighborhood coming running out of our houses in our PJ's to speculate and compare theories. Glad no one was hurt.

I heard it while sitting on my front porch last night, in Laguna West!
I live nearby and thought it was either fireworks, firecrackers or a gunshot. I am suprised that it was heard so far away in Laguna West. We have idoits setting off fireworks and fire crackers all the time over here. Unfortunately, sometimes we hear gunshots as well.
There was another explosion on Wednesday night at about 11:50pm. It set off a car alarm but I did not ever hear sirens or anything. Strange.
What ever it was it was very loud,
way to loud for just ordinary fireworks. We called the police seconds afterwards and where told it was just fireworks. Very strange that a officer could find where it came from that fast let alone know it was just fireworks.
It was heard clearly from our house on Lockford Ct. which is close to the intersection of Elk Grove Blvd and Waterman road. I along with others came out to the street to look around. The Sheldon area posted above is about 3.3 miles from here. I am surprised there isn't a smoking hole or something....
