Double Boom In Ocean City

For those of you in the Ocean City area, did you just hear that double BOOM? I'm checking into it but perhaps one, (or some) of you know what it might have been. I'm guessing something at Mach II speed?

 UPDATE: No emergency calls were generated from it so it must have been a jet breaking Mach speed.

    Single boom here in Williamsville (between Selbyville and West Fenwick.) Very loud.

    2 booms has nothing to do with Mach 1 vs Mach 2. Mach 1 is the speed of sound, anytime it is surpassed a pressure wave is created and may be heard as a single or double boom depending upon distance from aircraft.

    (Seriously)... It happens a lot on the coast. The key word is "double boom". A plane that breaks the sound barrier emits a double boom in quick succession. You'll need to Wikipedia the explanation of that. Too complicated for me!
    In the days of the SST, just about every Tuesday (for some reason, Tuesday) you would hear a sonic boom in OC if the conditions were right, as it broke the sound barrier over the Atlantic around 1:30PM.

    They've been flying maneuvers that I've seen myself over the last week from OC to Trappe. F16's or something similar.

    I don't know what you're trying to say, and I don't think you do either. You contradicted yourself.
