FORT HOOD, Texas (KWTX) The loud booms that could be heard throughout Central Texas Wednesday evening were caused by field artillery training on Fort Hood, according to Fort Hood spokesman Tyler Broadway.

The loudest blasts were heard around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, prompting calls to KWTX and local dispatch centers as far north as Waco and as far south as Georgetown.

The post's 1-82 Artillery was shooting high-explosive howitzer rounds during the training.

In addition, Explosive Ordinance Disposal personnel were detonating demolition ordinance, which may account for the single loud blast residents heard.

The EOD finished Wednesday night and the artillery unit will finish Thursday, Broadway said.
