A meteor, roughly 3 feet across and weighing about 1 ton, entered Earth’s atmosphere at around 35,000 mph and created a shockwave equivalent to 26 tons of TNT. Loud sonic booms rattled homes, shook buildings, and sent vibrations through neighborhoods across the region. Reports were reported from Cypress, Katy, Cinco Ranch, Wharton, and beyond. The meteor first became visible near Stagecoach, Texas, then moved southeast before fragmenting near Cypress Station/Bammel, west of Cypress. This follows a larger daytime fireball confirmed by NASA over Ohio on St. Patrick's Day. Additionally, the hottest March day on record in Houston was Saturday.
