Default Double Sonic Boom - Shuttle coming into Edwards?

I guess it was about 30 minutes ago, I hear a double boom, actually felt the pressure wave. Ran out to the balcony, didn't see any smoke anywhere, thought maybe something blew up somewhere.

Now I get on line and I see the space shuttle was diverted to Edwards AFB. I figure the noises were sonice booms from the shuttle. I had no idea they would be that loud.

Anyone else hear it?

Funny thing is that I was watching a Discovery Channel DVD on the space program and was on a section about the Columbia re-entry burn up.
