METEOR HUNTERS in Houston — we now have a map of where meteorite fragments MAY be found! This is from NASA.
So far there ARE reports of at least one medium-sized one being recovered (and, unfortunately, causing damage).
This is on the northwest side of the Houston Metro northwest of Houston Bush Intercontentinal Airport. Your best chance is between Highway 1960 and Highway 99, especially near Kohrville, Klein and along Louetta Road.
That’s a heavily-commercialized, busy urban area, so folks there should check their backyards too.
Dark red is where 20 pound meteorites landed IF they were produced, then 2 pound (red), 0.2 pounds (dark orange), 0.02 pound (light orange) and 0.02 pound (yellow).
Any recovered meteorites may be magnetic AND feel extremely dense (“too heavy” for an ordinary rock of its size).
Saturday’s meteor was likely about 3 feet across and weighed a ton before it exploded overhead at 4:39 p.m. NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office says the explosion, which produced a sonic boom, released an amount of energy equivalent to 26 tons of TNT.
🚨 While the world is falling apart,
Italy goes live with tenor Andrea Bocelli riding into the Sanremo Festival on a white horse…
Italy really writes itself 🇮🇹😅

And one's for sport and one's for blood at the point of a knife”
RIP Bobby Weir. Thank you, for a real good time.
POV: You’re an American in Europe after your 3rd year at JP Morgan, pulling $175K and stunned by how cheap everything is. Two women ask to bum a smoke and you’re surprised their English is perfect. Turns out they’re nepo babies whose dads run a 140-year-old company protected by regulations they lobbied for. You feel untouchable.
americans have been lining up to buy jeeps by the millions for the past 70 years so i think you have no idea how little americans care about highway handling when it comes to their enthusiast vehicles
Fun fact: Toyota is still making these bad mama jamas just like as were originally built at the Toyota Gibraltar facility for direct shipping to NGOs in Africa
They could make them for the US export market, too
