A woman in Canada awoke in shock earlier this week when a rock crashed through the ceiling of her home and landed on her bed, narrowly missing her but spraying grit and other debris on her face, as her dog barked frantically.
“I was in shock and I just sat here for a few hours shaking,” she said. “The odds of that happening are so small so I’m pretty grateful to be alive.”

A meteorite, a good story, and solid provenance should be worth a good Loonie.

Are they recycling news now?
This exact thing happened in the 50’s. There is a picture from then with the hole in the roof, and the woman’s leg.

She is now looking for a white person to sue and/or put in jail.

Probably has a major windfall coming to her. Can probably repair the roof and have some “major cash” left over.

She’s a very wealthy lady. That meteorite is like winning the lottery.

Hopefully, the next meteorite will hit the “Sky Palace’ in rEdmonton. overlord Jason ‘Adolf’ Kenney needs a wake up call.

Ruth Hamilton had been fast asleep in Golden, a small town amid the Rocky Mountains, in British Columbia, on 3 October when her dog began barking and she woke with a start.
“I’ve never been so scared in my life,” she said. “I wasn’t sure what to do so I called 911 and, when I was speaking with the operator, I flipped over my pillow and saw that a rock had slipped between two pillows.”

Ummm... yeah.
It’s like the MSM has a “news story” with blanks for the names and cities, which they fill in when needed.

The meteorite is going to be worth a few thousand bucks. Hope the woman gets to keep the thing because the detestable Canadian government is highly likely to seize it from her.

"I’m pretty grateful to be alive."
I don't think anyone has actually been killed by a meteor before. So she missed a golden opportunity to be the first. That is, until a really big one wipes out a city or a country.

I asked my insurance company if I was covered if this happened. They told me not if it was deliberate. No respect.

Hopefully, the next meteorite will hit the “Sky Palace’ in Edmonton. The Loonies already burnt out all the churches, yes?
To: C210N
No, it’s like, this just happened.

No doubt caused by her un-vaccinated status.
