Houston-area meteor shatters in the sky, triggering sonic booms, NASA says

TL;DR Summary
NASA says a bright meteor over southeastern Texas likely broke apart above the Houston area after streaking around 35,000 mph; the roughly 3-foot, one-ton rock caused sonic booms heard in the region and Doppler radar suggests meteorites may have dropped between Willowbrook and Northgate Crossing, with at least one homeowner reporting a rock in her home; this comes days after a separate daytime fireball over Ohio and Pennsylvania.
