KHOU11 A meteorite tore a gaping hole through a grandmother’s home on Saturday after a meteor soared through the skies near Houston. The fireball, weighing over one ton and measuring three feet in diameter, broke into chunks 29 miles above ground, around 20 miles north of downtown Houston. The meteor was soaring through space at 35,000 mph before crash-landing at around 4:40 p.m. One of the slabs of rock is believed to have crashed into the home of Sherrie James, shocking the grandmother and her grandson, who was visiting at the time. “We heard a big boom. My grandson went to check and said there was a hole in the ceiling… then I saw the rock, and I thought, ‘that looks like a meteor,’” she told local Houston outlet KHOU-TV. No one was injured in the incident. James has created a GoFundMe to help pay for repairs to her roof, floor, and ceiling. The Texan intends to keep the piece of space rock.
