NASA confirmed that the boom heard this morning across Northern Ohio was a meteor. It was apparently 6 feet across, 7 tons, and unleashed an energy of 250 tons of TNT when it fragmented. @signalcleveland
The best part, on their map, they've named it: "Chicken Little."

Supporters of Cleveland's school merger plan formed a 501(c)4 advocacy nonprofit after the November election, which paid for a TV ad narrated by Mayor Justin Bibb ahead of the Dec. 6 school board vote.
