Any of you in Texas see the fireball over the Austin area on Monday? Was anything ever found on the ground? Is Austin really weird? ;\)

1. I was in the area visiting my wife's family, but I did not see it.

2. I don't think anything was found on the ground, but folks reported it from Austin to Dallas.

3. Yes. \:\)

A lot of times the stuff burns up before it hits the ground, so nothing may ever be found. I remember a few years back, the opening morning of rifle season for deer in PA, a meteor screamed right up the middle of the state about an hour before sunrise. I am sure a lot of deer hunters about fell out of their tree stands! That thing was so low to the ground you could actually hear it crackling...
