Twitter and Facebook users also buzzed about it.

The boom was so powerful it even set off car alarms near the Sellwood Bridge.

As for a possible weather event – KGW Meteorologist Rod Hill said there were no indications that lightening strikes could have hit at that time. So for now, it all remains a mystery. But police said they would continue to investigate. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail is redefining busy with tools for the New Busy.
