Friday night there were some heavy storms across the south central US. I was woken up by “thunder” at about 4:30 in the morning. Here is the weird part. So what I heard several times sounded like a continual rolling thunder clap. Hard to explain in writing, but it was one event that was a continual bah-boom! bah-boom! bah-boom! that was traveling from south to north. It sounded like some super low altitude ship in a sci-fi movie emoting loud speaker noises. Is that a normal weather event? Anyone know what that is? When I think of thunder I think of one clap and it is done until the next clap. And I haven’t heard anything like this that I remember on all my years.

Updooted for jaunty use of the term weatherfags.
As an ex-ex-weatherfag I can think of no phenomenon like you describe.
I hope it's an alien mothership in the shape of a tinfoil hat flown conspicuously by none other that The Donald, pooping out hung politicians on lengths of rope, with a light rotation providing the centrifugal force that pulls them laterally and silhouettes them sweetly against the sky.
Updooted initially for the whimsical use of "jaunty", but primarily for the splendid imagery of politicians relieved of their last vestiges of contrived dignity. Inspiring!
I have updooted the lot of you.
Updooted for generosity.
Yes I think there is a lab course at weather fag school that explains this phenomenon.
It's been awhile.
The Tinfoil-hat alien mothership/ dead politican mobile or the Rolling Thunder?
And speaking of jaunty use…. How about the term gizzardpuke? It’s so vivid and colorful!
The planefags needed some friends.
