COLONIAL HEIGHTS, Va. (WTVR) — CBS 6 News received a number of reports Sunday afternoon about another loud boom heard in parts of Central Virginia.

Ky’s mum posted on the CBS 6 Facebook page that she heard the blast just after 4 p.m. at her home near the Colonial Heights-Chester line.

“This time it shook the house!” she wrote.

Ruth J Perry also posted on the CBS 6 Facebook page that she heard a “loud, explosion-type sound” on Chesterfield County’s southside.

Diana Penn, who said this is the third boom she has heard this month, said the latest one at 4:10 p.m. was the closed one she has felt.

In fact, Penn said the first two blasts were from the southwest. She said Sunday’s boom sounded closer — as if it was from the southeast and did not have the telltale rumble sound afterward,.

The latest boom was heard on the southside of Chesterfield County, Prince George, Ettrick, Matoaca and the Shepherd Stadium, Sherwood Hills and Tussing neighborhoods in Colonial Heights, according to social media reports.
