We had the same thing on the Olympic Peninsula. We turned on the police scanner and no one knew what was going on but there were reports coming in of broken windows.

Someone at a university in Victoria BC was trying to figure out what the booms were about. He concluded they were the sound bouncing off the Olympics. But if you heard them in Oregon that would not hold up. Still some mysteries.

I had never heard about the low water at the beach - wonder what caused that?!

Yes - it was frightening.
