From: Igor Roshchin
It's already in the news around the world: a few hours ago,
a meteorite (estimated ~10 tons) hit Chelyabinsk (in Russia):

My mom was on the street, and she saw the fireball in the sky, and then
felt the hot shock wave.
... And as far as I understand the big expected asteroid has not
passed us yet.
Igor
I hope your mom is Ok.
The news is saying a lot of property damage & several thousand persons
injured (mostly by flying glass from breaking windows), but no known
fatalities. I hope it will get no worse than that.
Some amazing images - more than 2000 videos up on YouTube so far &
someone already has a chunk of it for sale on eBay.
