Meteor shower not cause of Wolverine school closure [...]

WOLVERINE - Despite the rumors, Monday's decision to cancel classes at Wolverine Community Schools was not because of a Sunday night meteor shower.

I just thought that this headline... well... it is just so rich in its meanings. First, it tells us that a whole lotta people saw teh meteor that fell across southern Ontario and Michigan on Sunday. You wonder if people are starting to notice that this large fireballs are more and more frequent.

Then, not that I am at all conspiracy-minded, but a denial such as this does make you wonder whether the lady doth protesteth trop... If I were one of the conspiratorial types, I just might think they were covering up something. Fortunately, here at SOTT, we go on data.

Third, I wonder how long it is going to be before a meteor will be the cause of school closings... or a lot more.

And, "'Despite the rumors"... gotta love that lead-in.

I agree Henry, what a truly bizarre headline and lead-in - if the meteor shower was not connected. It certainly seems that this was one big rain drop before the storm.
