| Remarks | After the flash through the window,( I thought a transformer had blown), and a a couple of minutes later, I heard a rumble that grew louder, and I SWEAR the whole house trembled for a few seconds...enough to make me think we had experienced a tremor. Only to discover that the flash and vibrating was from the huge meteor passing overhead. Just happened to be fully awake, couldn't sleep, so I checked the time just in case something came of it! Glad I did! |
