HARRIS COUNTY, Tx – KPRC2 viewers called the station around 4:45 pm Saturday, reporting a loud sonic boom as a meteor flew overhead!

Waller County Judge Trey Duhon posted a loud explosion on Facebook:

“Waller County is BOOMING apparently…. And I’m not talking about growth

Apparently a meteor exploded earlier today somewhere near or over our County. I heard it inside the house and the house shook from it. It startled Lisa who was in the backyard.”

The loud boom was caused by the meteor disintegrating. NASA reports it unleashed 26 tons of TNT, creating a pressure wave that was heard and felt at ground level.
