The strongest sonic boom recorded was 144 lbs per square foot by a fighter flying just above the speed of sound at 100 ft. off the ground. A more realistic force would be around 21 lbs per square foot for an aircraft flying at altitude.
An average sonic boom will produce 212 decibels when the listening device is near the aircraft.
Sonic booms have the ability to shatter glass and affect crop growth, this is why Concordes did not go supersonic until over the ocean.
