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).[image or embed] -- MyRadar (@myradar.bsky.social) Mar 22, 2026 at 9:52 AM

I should be so lucky to have a $50,000 rock fall onto my house.
But if it ever did with my luck it would land on my head.

We just had a meteorite come down in the Cleveland area. TF is going on? We have long said God Hates Cleveland to describe the failures of our sports teams but now he's slinging space rock our way.

How normal is this? Two weeks ago, it happened near where I live in Germany, damaging some houses. Then it happened a few days later in Cleveland or something.
Is this a common occurrence? Like every week?

Meteorites hitting the earth is not rare.
Hitting something of value on earth is pretty rare.
"Believe it or not, some 17,000 meteorites fall to Earth every year. The data comes from a team of researchers at the University of Manchester and Imperial College London, who have managed to quantify the flow of space material falling onto the planet between 2019 and 2020."
www.iberdrola.com It looks like your odds of a meteorite strike are better near or at the equator.
