|---|---|
| Name | Laura W |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Just a bit of humor... at first I thought it was some fool setting off fireworks in our drought stricken community, which has instituted a ban on fireworks this year. Luckily, it appears to have been a meteor or fireball instead, with no consequences on the ground (hopefully). |
