By Robin Streichler, Jim Bailey, Raymond Smith, Jon Drucker and Ginny Rockefeller On Oct. 31, at approximately 1:55 p.m., there was a sonic boom so loud that it not only shook my downtown Ojai apartment, but my ears are still ringing. How are these sonic booms affecting other residents, infants’ and children’s developing auditory and nervous systems, pets and wildlife? How are veterans with certain forms of PTSD reacting to something that sounds like large explosion? These are not a new concerns.
