Well, meteors can certainly skip off the atmosphere back into space, but the brilliance of the flash suggests to me that the meteor did explode and that its remnants, i.e., meteorites, hit the ground causing property damage, e.g., at the Peoples Zinc Factory.
Of course, I am in Georgia (USA) so I don’t know.
Latest report is over 500 minor injuries, four critical.

“skip off the atmosphere back into space”

I don’t think this one “skipped”. I think in just happened to be in the atmosphere for a few seconds on its relatively straight path. I don’t think this one exploded. There are videos showing the entire contrail, and it is about the same diameter for its entire length. I don’t think this one impacted either. It simply passed through the atmosphere and continued on its way.
