Meteor showers. Environmental hazards?
I looked up some weather news and found news of a meteor shower that occurs every October. It is a Draconid meteor shower which is typically a weak meteor shower with not too many visible meteors seen per hour. This year however, the Earth will be going through a few dust streams and as a result we may see several hundred meteors per hour at its peak
I know this isn't an environment hazard but it got me thinking about a super hazard. Maybe a huge meteor won't be stopped by our atmosphere? How did the dinosaurs go? Haha.
Anyways, here is a news article regarding the upcoming Draconian meteor shower: http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/storm_watch_stories3&stormfile=meteor_outburst_forecast_in__270911?ref=ccbox_weather_topstories
