I think this was predicted ahead of time, and might relate to that underground city in far eastern Turkey that was found around 10 to 20 years ago.
Might be interesting to see if this also occurred around 12,900 years ago as well, and was what helped that giant glacier over North America melt in epic and quick fashion.
YDE Younger Drayas Event. All cultures have remnants of a VERY BAD DAY that may have had warning signs that have been passed down. Changes in the sky from the norm were universally assumed to portend disaster. Similar events may have continued at intervals throughout human history. But the YDE changed the whole world forever. Some religious notions now deemed backward were very practical back then.
Also read about some Greek and Finnish mythology that refers to fires from the sky causing a year of darkness and death. Parts of Kalevala in particular could describe very long held fears.

A comet strike bombardment ( many hits from rocks one mile in diameter from the Taurids) which lasted over 100 years with the most intense part lasting 10 years - North America was engulfed in a firestorm until the end when an mile diameter rock struck at an oblique angle creating the Carolina Bays and similar features in Nebraska - the impact sent ice from the glacier up thousands of feet and when they came down, shattered, cutting to ribbons anything for miles around, but also put out most of the remaining fires.
North America and almost all living things, including the Clovis Culture People, were incinerated, then sliced and diced.
North America melt in epic and quick fashion.

Actually, the ice was already melting - the firestorms cooled the atmosphere bringing on the Younger Dryas - the coldest period on record and the Ice Cap began to grow again - there is also the possibility that one of the strikes cracked off a huge part of the Ice Cap which slid into the ocean blocking the Gulf current for centuries.
