Being familiar with reservation fireworks, an M-80 wouldn't shake a building, even if it was right outside. The reservations in Washington state sell M-1000 under the counter that is equivalent to a quarter stick of dynamite and will shake a building. Being very familiar with M-1000 explosions, some of those on NYE were larger than those. A neighbor near me must have his own mortar. I could hear the whump! as it left the tube and a huge bang that dwarfed a M-1000, with what sounded like sand or possibly metallic flakes falling on my roof. It seems really large fireworks are more available here than on the mainland. It was probably just one of those.
