It was the biggest meteor shower in history. People ran into the streets in panic. The "sky was falling". Even Indian tribes who had never been religious found new spirit filled faith.
Prophets popped up everywhere preaching hellfire and brimstone. Many of today's evangelical churches were born that night.
