I heard it and it shook our townhouse. At first I just thought it was a case of a thunderstorm where the lightning hits nearby, so the boom is right on top of you. But it's not really T storm season now. So then I thought a transformer across the street maybe had blown. And then I didn't think about it at all anymore, and wasn't aware it was a "thing" until I saw this thread.

When I was assigned to Eglin AFB in the '60s we were running low-level night flights over the area, and we got phone calls for us to get our damned B-52s out of their yard.

test drop of the moab on the Eglin Air Force Base, Florida... (according to the comments to this video)
This was also tested at Eglin AFB several years ago, and would certainly have been heard in the area.
