Another earthquake? Have reports from all around the area. Still haven't seen any confirmation from USGS. Sonic boom?
Not as bad as the one in May. Shook the house big time, but very short.

Explosion maybe
So I was just getting into my car when there was what sounded like an actual explosion about 1:30-ish yesterday. Since I've got four construction sites right around me (Rockford, near Stock Creek), I assumed someone was blowing up a big rock. There are lots of those around here. I'm not sure that would have shook your house all the way in Alcoa, based on the general area I think your house is in, but the timing is right.
