I was interested to learn about the mentioned 2013 meteor that resulted in injuries. Not sure how I didn't hear about that when it happened. My takeaway is that if you see something that looks like it's a bright fireball, close your eyes and turn away. And apparently move away from windows. Funny to see that the "duck and cover" exercises they do in schools are actually useful for (extremely rare) events like this. [1]

I thought we knew that despite modern criticism that duck and cover was effective for those outside of some range given a nuclear explosion?

I also think that those exercises haven't been done in schools for quite some time. I never did them despite plenty of fire and severe weather drills.
