Hope your insured against this kind of thing. You hear it go over?

Andy:

Yeah, I saw the flash, looked up as it went behind a tree and heard the boom. I immediately thought meteor, but on second thought decided it was just God throwing thunderbolts at me for my sacrilege in attacking both the theists and pantheists here.

I knew it was something you did. I thought it was targeted at the Hummer.

That's strange. I thought I had heard at one time that this meteor was caused by something the size of a volkswagen.

What is going on in the USA these days? Earthquake in the northeast and a meteor in California. What is next?

VW's used to be a lot bigger a few million years ago.

Hey Andy, it looks like it wasn't God throwing a thunderbolt at me, it now looks like he was throwing it at you, what have you done, burned wood or something else environmentally destructive?

If pieces of the meteor that exploded over the Bay Area Wednesday fell to the ground, they may be found in a band of land shaped like an ice cream cone stretching north from southern Marin County through Fairfax and Novato up to Sonoma, an astronomer who tracked its path told the San Francisco Chronicle.

Initial reports said fragments of the heavenly body, estimated to be about the size of a car, fell near Martinez, but meteor scientist Peter Jenniskens told the Chronicle that his calculations put it further west and north.¹

Was there a crater or not?

Randy:

I understand people are looking, I guess pieces would be worth some money.
