The energy dissipates according to the Inverse Square rule. I wonder what the actual distance is for you? (I seem to remember you having filmed a night shuttle launch through your window last year, so it can't be all THAT far.)

Our getaway in the northern lower peninsula about 30 miles from a huge National Guard base, which is surrounded by a bombing range. We often hear the bombs and see the jets, but they do not fly supersonic so there are no sonic booms. I'd love to hear one in the valley! Thunder is an amazing experience there. Imagine something with the impact of a sonic boom.
