<<<<<UPDATE MORE REPORTS OF RUMBELING IN WINDSOR ESSEX>>>>>

WINDSOR, Ont. -- The rumblings are upon us — everywhere.

Following a Star story that appeared Friday, nearly 40 people called by noon to say they too have experienced strange rumblings, vibrations or noises at their homes.

The calls came from every corner of Windsor and Essex County stretching as far away as Amherstburg and Colchester North.

“It’s like a low grade rumble,” said Valerie Chedour who lives on Belle River Road in Woodslee. “At first, I thought it was trouble with my furnace. It’s not. Then I wondered about heavy machinery, then it happened in the middle of the night. There is no pattern or rhythm to it.

“At least I know now I’m not going nuts and hearing things. That it’s for real.”

Theories on the cause among callers ranged from windmills, Zug Island, ships on the waterways, truck traffic and possible earthquakes.

“That noise has literally been driving me crazy,” said Irene Sorrell who lives on California Avenue by Assumption high school. “It shook my house. I thought it was a kid in front of my house with a boom box and I look and there is nobody there.

“I wish the heck I knew what it was. It’s like a bloody semi was in my yard.”

Ontario’s Ministry of Environment has begun an investigation to rule out possible industrial sources causing the mysterious vibrations.
