At about 8:20 pm Tuesday January 16, 2018 Did any of you Detroit freepers see that flash of light followed about two minutes later with a window rattling shockwave?
It’d cause $5.4 billion in improvements.
Where in Detroit? Suburbs?
Fire and brimstone

LOL
As long as this sign didn't get hit...
:-)
I wonder where that was filmed?
After forty minutes over the Soviet Zone, they began to descend into Berlin. The voice of Tempelhof's tower came over the radio to guide them. Up ahead loomed the city. As they approached, the view, Halvorsen remembered, "just about took our breath away. Nothing I had read, heard, or seen prepared me for the desolate, ravaged sight below." It was, William Shirer wrote after seeing Berlin from up in a plane, "a great wilderness of debris, dotted with roofless, burned-out buildings..."
...A few days later, Halvorsen would write home -- after having by then seen the honey-combed city a dozen times -- and he still could not come to grips with what he saw below. "Berlin is a shell of a city. I think how easily it would be for Detroit, New York, or any U.S. city to look the same way..."
In 1948, Mr. Halvorsen clearly did not have an appreciation for the destructive power of the Democrat Party. It far exceeded the 8th Air Force.
No sh*t. I bet it could win a crappiest road in America contest.
Yes, I am in the Central time zone.
Thanks. I didn’t check to see if Detroit was in the EST. I just assumed it was not. My mistake.
Rofl. Hey I wish we had had it up here...near Gaylord. Next time share with your upnorth neighbors.
Videoed? Not many use film these days.
I wondered what the crazy neighbors were up to. I looked outside but saw nothing out of order or of interest. Already forgot about it.
Interesting.
Nice.
Is there a Detroit news site I can llok up?
Local FB page here in NW Indiana has people reporting a bright light just ahead of when you did. No boom, though.
Reports now say that the meteor came down in Ontario Canada.
There’s a story on ww.freep.com, but we’re not supposed to link.
Search “meteor detroit”, lots of info coming in.
