Loud quarry noise and shaking of properties

Huge blast today that sounded like a bomb went off in our basement. Biggest blast I’ve ever heard, and also during weather they are not supposed to blast during. Time to cancel their permit (a functioning quarry in the middle of a densely populated community…?)

Extreme vibration felt in the entire neighborhood 6.25.2021 at 12:30 pm.

The quarry blast today, Oct 30, 2024, at 1 p.m. was very severe. My entire house shook. My furniture and everything on my walls moved. We experience some rumbles on this side of the forest, but I have never in 13 years had a blast create that much havoc in my house. It felt like an earthquake.

Most intense blast in last 9 years with continued vibrations at the same intensity over time. Ongoing intense rumbling causing house shaking.

The blast today was so bad the my house shook for over 10 seconds and the vibration was very deep, something needs to be done and more needs restrictions need to happen,

Strong blast, with a strong vibration felt in pipes and floors

Blasting during bad weather conditions when air is blowing towards residents’ homes.

The blasting for the Stanley School has gotten very intense over the last couple of weeks - strongly shaking our house with each blast, and I fear that it is doing damage to our house. Unfortunately we didn't have the initial survey done, but would like to have one done ASAP before this goes much further. Also is it possible to have an observer or seismograph placed in our house during blasts to measure impact? Is there any place I can find a schedule of how much longer this will go on and locations of future blasts?

Another blast, a day after the other.

That last bast shook the whole house and knocked a picture off the wall in my office
