Did anyone have flaming meteor in November?

There's a 0.41% chance that a five foot diameter meteor will crash into the Earth on the day before the November elections! You just can't make this 2020 stuff up.....

I'm like an entire foot taller than 5ft how bad could it possibly be?

Hopefully lands in water or something - would be awesome!

Oh my God. The mail is at risk.

Speaking of flaming meteors, this morning's local TV news showed a widely visible one over Ohio and Pennsylvania that was caught on a trucker's dashcam.

Yup, 'tis 2020.....

Whatever the next 'big thing' is, cue in reports of insufficient financing to explore/fight the problem, how we're behind the rest of the world, etc etc.

My bet is on 'unusually' cold weather, blamed on climate change.

Maybe it'll suck up all the oxygen on the way down and kill the fires in California.
