Earlier this week, I shared a blog about the loud, unexplained booms shaking homes near Cude Cemetery Road. After a quick investigation by the Conroe Courier, we now have answers!
According to a recent article by Conroe Courier, the Entergy Texas Lewis Creek Power Plant near Lake Conroe is the source. The booms occur when turbines restart after power outages, releasing high-pressure steam through safety valves—a normal part of plant operations to prevent over-pressurization.
Key Takeaways:
- Not Dangerous: The noise is part of the plant’s safety process.
- Previously Announced: Entergy warned residents in 2020 before the plant became fully operational in 2021.
- Powering Growth: This facility is Entergy’s first new Texas plant in 40 years, supporting the booming Conroe and Willis area.
Now that we have answers, residents can rest easy!
