A Russian one did damage in the past. Not the same one as above.

We did! We thought it was lighting...coincidentally we just started watching "Smallville"

I heard something too...

Where did it hit? Any damage?

I heard Livingston County MI, which is not far from me.
...word is it exploded in air, makes no sense!

It actually makes perfect sense. Meteors disintegrate as they enter the atmosphere and some even explode. This was apparently a very slow moving (by comparison) meteor which allowed it to get much closer to earth before breaking apart.

so why the earthquake?

so why the earthquake?

broke the sound barrier It has the same ish effect. Airshows pilots can not break the sound barrier as a rule do to breaking windows etc miles away. There is also an instance where a pilot saved troops via a low level sonic boom.

The meteor creates a shock wave when it enters the atmosphere. The one that came to earth over Russia a few years ago damaged thousands of buildings and caused a lot of personal injury just from the blast wave it produced.
