possible meteor impact in northwest US
this is all over the news, but there was a prominent fireball in the northwest US tuesday morning with a possible ground strike, likely in eastern Washington State, possibly Adams County
lots of video from local TV stations - expect someone will have triangulated it this morning and locals should have gone out by now to look for crater and debris fields
KLEW in Idaho has surveillance video footage above
More from Ritzville Journal Adams County including a PNNL video
KXLY has additional footage
either a low airburst or a ground strike, seems to be definitely in SE Adams County.
