Really strange event where my sister lives!

[Archae]

My oldest sister lives in this Northern California county!

A meteor hit a guy's house and set it on fire!

(My sister had no idea it had happened.)

1. Holy crap n/t

2. Guy should have bought a Powerball ticket.

3. If it was a meteor, they should be able to find it

15. Meteor -- burns up. Meteorite -- survives the trip.

[NewHendoLib]

20. Exactly...sorry! My mistake.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. Too late; you've angered them. We're all gonna burn in a swarm of vengeful meteorites!

Op did it, too.

4. He can count his lucky stars. Or not.

Also, isn't there a Chinese satellite with a decaying orbit about to come down — the one where the PRC won't release it's composition which would allow scientists to better predict where it might fall?

Edit: not a satellite but a rocket booster. Apparently it fell yesterday into the Pacific. I wonder if this could be debris from that boosters breakup?

5. Jody said "it's mine, but you can have it for seventeen million".

Whoa, it came out of the sky
Landed just a little south of Moline
Jody fell out of his tractor
Couldn't b'lieve what he seen, oh

Laid on the ground a-shakin'
Fearin' for his life
And then he ran all the way to town
Screamin', "It came out of the sky"

14. Creedence!

( Sounds different on youtube than it does on vinyl or 8 track ).

6. Goodness. Gracious. Great. Balls. Of. Fire? Thank about darlin', for ol' Jerry Lee.

8. Hopefully they don't suspect arson.

9. Uh Oh

[berniesandersmittens]

10. Is his name Donnie Darko?

13. I sometimes wish we could "like" comments.

I so often don't respond to posts that actually make me laugh (or where I appreciate the reference), so consider this comment a "like".

[LymphocyteLover]

22. Haha! Great movie!

[airplaneman]

11. isn't the meteor itself worth something? N/T.

[colorado_ufo]

12. A lot!

[LeftInTX]

16. Yes!

[Chainfire]

17. They will probably have a hell of a battle with the insurance company.

[hlthe2b]

19. Can they declare this an (uncovered) "Act of God?"

????

[yonder]

25. I was thinking the same.

If it turns out to be a meteorite, they could claim ‘Act of God’ and likely not cover it. If found to be man-made space debris, I could see them saying: “Call China, it's their problem….good luck”.

Either way and as you said, a hell of a battle. Chances are the little guy would not prevail.

18. I just got the paper and a meteorite was falling

in a flash just disappearing as it reached the hill about 200 yards in front of me! It seemed so close I thought I'd hear or feel it hitting the ground. But obviously it burned up before it did. Still it appeared to be the closest one I've ever seen.
