Radivoje Lajic associates meteor strikes with heavy rains (lightning and thunder?), so that's when he looks for evidence -- and holes in the roof.

Meteroite fragments into five pieces. Piece one found immediately. Pieces 2-4 only found during heavy rain when a leak becomes apparent? The only other option, really, is that the rocks were mis-identified as meteorites. Hmm..

She went to court to sue God (via the church) for the damage, as she felt that she hadn't done anything wrong for God to be justified in taking his wrath out on her. I can't remember if she won or lost. There was a case in the Old West (or it might just have been a ‘Death Valley Days’ episode) where an old lady’s front porch was destroyed by meteorites.
