Sounds like SpaceX will be testing the Falcon9 - Flight 1 first stage this week at their McGregor, Texas test site.
The last time they tested this configuration it shook doors, rattled (and often broke) windows, and all but bounced babies out of their cribs for a radius of 40-50 miles (there was a thermal inversion over the area that trapped the pressure waves).
"bright lights" and "loud noises" indeed
