Here in the US there is a higher statistical probability of being killed by a meteor than by a tornado?

Here's another little piece of trivia. The first example of Jim Bowie's famous knife was supposedly forged from meteor steel, as was the steel dagger in King Tuts tomb.

Around the same days, there was news about space debris in Australia and the fall of an apricot-sized meteorite in France. It’s strange.
In orbit, objects weighing less than a gram destroy 4 satellites per year. So don't underestimate the dangers of space debris and other things. The likelihood of injury on Earth is small but higher than the likelihood of winning the lottery.
