(WVLT) - Dozens of people in Knox County woke up to some rumbling this morning and investigators are still working to figure out what it was.
Dozens of calls flooded central dispatch at about 1:15am, mostly from two neighborhoods off Northshore Drive in West Knoxville; Admiral's Landing and Northshore Landing.
Many people tell us they woke up to loud rumbling and thought there were animals or prowlers in their basements or attics.
Others thought there was some sort of explosion shaking the ground.
J.R. Andrews lives in Admiral's Landing and says it woke his entire family up and they all ran outside to see what was going on.
"Half of our neighborhood had come outside and there was these constant shakes in the ground, constant thud. It felt like some type of missile attack," he said. "It wasn't an earthquake, I've been through an earthquake."
KUB not reporting any problems in the area and so far, there has been no reports of a possible earthquake.

I have been noticing the same type of thing Here in PA. In my yard I heard and felt it and In my kitchen under my feet 2 times in a matter of a month, and I don't have a basement under the kitchen floor. It's rather Wierd, A rumble that makes the ground sound hollow. Not sure what it is but it's got me concerned!

This whole area is on a shelf and when the lake fills up after a lot of rain,the water must release from under the rock shelf and makes the rumbling noise. Since so much construction has being going on around here, they have covered up a lot of ponds that were the release areas for the water build up under the shelf. Notice the two ponds near us and see that they rise with the lake as it rises.

At the risk of bringing this discussion back down to the mundane, I can't help but wonder if the work on the property under development on Northshore doesn't have something to do with the inexplicable noises we experienced the other night. I remember earlier this year when our water was cut off due to digging there. Does anyone out there have any ideas on this? Also, does anyone have any idea of what local agency we could contact regarding a follow up on what investigators [as stated in the 1st sentence of the online report] have found out,if anything, thus far?
