Noise and Shake Alert: Mortar Training at Join Base All Week
Two U.S. Army infantry regiments are conducting mortar training at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst all week.
If you hear boom noises or feel the ground shake in the Princeton area, it is because of the mortar training. The sound often travels farther during periods of cloudy conditions.
The training is scheduled to take place every day from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 14.
