People in these parts reporting an explosion or perhaps a meteor strike  - it was quite pronounced as I thought a tree limb hit the roof and rolled off. A friend called me shortly after & thought the same thing and told me a meteor strike was reported as a friend from FLA. called his wife :017:

Yes, a probable meteor exploded in the atmosphere over Ohio on the morning of March 17, 2026, causing a loud boom and shaking homes across Northeast Ohio. The National Weather Service (NWS) confirmed the "fireball" was likely a meteor, based on satellite data showing an airburst rather than a ground impact.

And Ohio State and Michigan weren't even playing

THIS DAY IN HISTORY:

Landmark US Supreme Court Decision Guarantees Right to Counsel (1963)
After he was accused of breaking into a bar in Florida in 1961, Clarence Gideon was unable to afford a lawyer and was forced to defend himself. Sentenced to five years in prison, he had ample time to study the law, and he began petitioning the courts with the claim that his right to legal counsel had been violated. In 1963, the US Supreme Court agreed with him, establishing that state courts were required to provide attorneys for poor defendants.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 

Nevada Legalizes Gambling (1931)
Though unregulated gambling had been common in early Nevada mining towns, it was outlawed in 1909, and for many years, the state's economy was carried by mining. However, with the mining industry in decline amid the Great Depression, state lawmakers agreed to re-legalize gambling in order to strengthen the state's finances. Today, the state economy is dominated by tourism and gaming.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 

US Approves Antiretroviral Drug AZT as a Treatment for AIDS (1987)
Though it was originally developed as an anticancer drug in 1964, azidothymidine (AZT) was never approved for that purpose. Two decades later, however, it was discovered to be effective in fighting HIV. At the time, thousands of people were dying of AIDS, and no other treatment was forthcoming. For humanitarian reasons, the drug was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in a matter of months, rather than the usual eight to 10 years.
