Boom startles Islanders

Some Marco residents were startled awake by a loud deep, reverberating
rumble instead of the annoying buzz of an alarm clock early Monday morning.

Police Chief Roger Reinke said, "We heard it plainly here at the
station. I checked to see if there was a crash at one of the
intersections, and the phone calls came in shortly thereafter. Since we
had no reports of damage, I did not think it necessary to invest any
resources in determining the cause. A few people came up with the
military jets over the gulf (sonic boom) theory. That seems to make the
most sense."

There has been no further information about the event.
