Prior to this event, there was about 25-60 seconds of a very low vibrating hum that was almost piercing because it hit so many decibels at one time….but it would wax and wane so the vibration sound did not hurt too long. Intrigued…and the wind was VERY strong due to an "incoming" storm from Ohio…..I began truing to arrange some things on my patio to keep them safe from the wind and there was this HUGE flash of light above me that literally gave me enough light to see what I was doing in almost pitch black…when I looked up, it had fizzled but it was a very true meteorite like tail as in when you see a shower, but this was much more powerful that all the stars I have seen do that. I am sad I did not see the actual beginning of it, and am curious to know what I saw.
