You make a good point: not your typical meteor flameout.
There was no earthquake the meteor broke the sound barrier.
We miss all the cool stuff, too, here in North Carolina! Lol!
BOL! For once, (hope I don’t jinx us), those of us living in Californicator land of fruit, nuts/moonbeam, illegals, earthquakes, fires, floods and other bad stuff, didn’t have to live through this event.
Just like a scene from the movie Starman
Thank heaven for small miracles!
I think we already have a term and it is "shock wave" or "seismic shock".

I know where it is. I live in the SE most county of Michigan, very much south of Detroit, that city north of Detroit should be mid Michigan or some such. I understand what they are saying, though.
#6 Sometimes a moonshine still will blow up and you see pieces flying across the night sky....
Seems it was just a weird coincidence that a small earthquake happened at the same time the meteor was seen.
Oh, wow. I just looked that up. Very interesting—thanks for the information!
Wonderful! Thanks!

In 2011 I was living near DC and sitting on my bed. Suddenly the wall facing me started to shudder intensely as well as the bed for about 15 seconds. First I thought it was a big truck or an explosion, but no boom. Then a few minutes later the earthquake in Mineral, VA was reported. As a child I used to live near a fairly large lake perhaps 5 city blocks cubed. With a hard freeze on a still night we would get glass smooth black ice. A few days later we would skate when the ice was thick enough. Sometimes there would be a pressure crack go across the whole lake, ka-boom. Very loud and unnerving. I think caused by ice expanding above the water with no place to go. When we would skate it would change the pressure somewhere and the crack would be caused. I don’t know if anyone reporting such a crack sound here lives near a lake. It only ever happened with black ice.
Wow!
Frost quakes or ice quakes are pretty interesting, and just uncommon enough that they can throw ya off a bit when they happen... I could have sworn there was a recent article about loud booms from those in Minn or Wisc, but a search turned up nothin’ recent. Michigan is so wet (how wet is it?) it’s so wet that I think we gain about 18 inches of elevation during the winter as the wet ground freezes at depth.

Thanks for the vids & pics. Count on the Brits to post a better story than our crappy news.
