Apparently a meteor came through over Houston yesterday and a piece went through someone's roof and landed in a bedroom and bounced around right back up into the ceiling. I was wondering why it sounded like it was thundering while we were sitting but it sounded a bit different. It didn't sound terrestrial. The rumbling was kinda crumbly and echo-y like it moving through the sky. Kinda hard to explain, actually. Otherwise, perfect blue sky weather for sitting outside and not a single cloud to be seen. We were not as close to it as other people so it didn't rumble the house, but we're on the NW side so not that far. Everyone in town heard something:

The lady or son of the lady that was a "sci fi fan" who was said to be keeping their meteorite is now looking to sell it. Because of course they now probably know they're worth a little bit more than they thought.

NASA released a graphic showing where meteorites would be found and approximate sizing.

So now everyone is sending rock pics now "Is this money a meteorite?"



The area where it dropped is somewhat local so I know the area well, but most looks like it is well-developed Residential, ie someone's back yard and shopping strips (particularly I-45):

It also confirms we did hear it explode because it's in that general direction from us.

Family had one up in PA.

I watered my lawn. I rarely do that. I have a very forgiving lawn, but I think I will raise my deck earlier this year and just let it grow higher. I was hoping for more rain because I was planning to start transplanting grass runners...

That's not bad. Our roof might be the original (70s) and so due to be completely redone. It's not in terrible shape but it's been through several hurricanes by now and probably many more hail storms. I could replace the fascia myself except for the higher up bits and so may just end up doing it as a project.

A rapidly deepening area of low pressure, Storm Dave, is likely to move northeastwards close to or across northwestern parts of the UK during Saturday evening and night, clearing to the North Sea by Sunday. Whilst there is some uncertainty over the exact track, intensity and shape of this area of low pressure, a period of strong west to southwesterly winds is expected during Saturday night and into the first part of Easter Sunday, before gradually easing through the day. Peak gusts of 50-60 mph will be possible fairly widely, with 60-70 mph in more exposed locations. There is a slight chance of some very strong winds at times where gusts of 80-90 mph may be possible in exposed areas for a time. Large waves may lead to some dangerous conditions around windward coasts.

Yes Sunday

Storm Dave is going to attack Scotland

Noo thank you. I don't miss cold temps or anything remotely winter in April.

We did get a downpour and some minor street flooding. We needed the rain, though. I took care of the front in anticipation, so I don't have to do a thing during the post-storm humidity.

It's supposedly 60(15C) degrees outside, but will have the AC still running because the humidity is so ick. And I just cooked bacon.
