An explanation after county residents reported to AM800 News, loud booming noises and tremors.
According to ERCA the reported effects are simply being caused by ice on local waterways, shifting.
Director of Watershed Management Services Tim Byrne, says thawing, mild temperatures and wind can cause movement.
"If the ice has bridged or ridged over top of either sandbars or if it's frozen down to the lake bottom, slight movement in that and upward pressure, will cause it to ridge and break," says Byrne.
Dan Sauve has lived in Colchester for 15 years and tells AM800 News, he has never experienced anything like this.
"The whole house shakes, you know you can even hear your pictures and everything on the walls chattering," says Sauve "You can feel it in the ground. It's almost like a sonic boom."
Byrne adds, the shifting causing the tremors and noises usually may not be able to seen with the naked eye.
"You don't necessarily have to see the ice really piling up to create this phenomenon," Byrne explains. "Ice that ruptures but doesn't actually pileup, you would still have that same impact and that same effect.
Reports on the sounds and tremors were coming from residents along Lake St Clair, Lake Erie and as far away as Ohio and Michigan.
