A recent static fire test by SpaceX at its Starbase facility near Boca Chica created a loud boom and vibrations felt across South Padre Island and Brownsville. The city confirmed that these effects were due to the routine test conducted on July 10, clarifying that they were not caused by an earthquake, as some social media posts suggested. Local residents, including patrons at Yummy's Bistro, reported feeling panicked as the ground shook. SpaceX is gearing up for its 13th Starship flight test, which may occur next week, pending final approvals.
