Quote: "Cheverly resident Nikki Greco has taken matters into her own hands by keeping track of the booms, which, according to her, sound like a Mack truck ramming into her house. For Greco, the loud booms are not just inconvenient, but an issue that has begun to dig into her bank account. The phenomenon has reportedly caused large cracks in her basement requiring a $50,000 loan for repairs. 'We're really concerned and we can't afford to keep making repairs,' a frustrated Greco told NBC4."
