TigerNut writes "The Calgary Herald this morning reported on a meteor that was seen over three provinces last night, and is assumed to have impacted in Saskatchewan. It is estimated to have been "the size of a kitchen sink", as reported here"

Thanks guys, for the clear, albiet subdued, insults of my place of residence. Perhaps you hsould visit, or at least investigate what we have to offer. Here is a sample: http://www.cls.usask.ca/ ya awful being so "backwoods";-)
In my home town when I was little the house up the street got hit my a meteorite. Ten years eariler another house on the same street (but almost a mile away) was hit by a similarly sized meteorite. There are pictures of the second one online, and you can go see them at the Yale Peabody museum.
I wouldn't be surprised if insurance agencies specifically added meteorite clauses to their policies around there after that.
A google search for "wethersfield meteorite" turns up lots of interesting articles about them.
