Don't move to Chelyabinsk. This is the second air burst meteor in 72 years. The first just passed overhead but left the sky raining rocks. You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_meteor_air_bursts Of more interest is the possible disintegration of a natural satellite of earth on February 9, 1913. The 1913 Great Meteor Procession was a series of 40 to 60 bright meteors moving from horizon to horizon in approximately the same path. They were followed by several other larger, bright objects and one report even mentions dark objects seen during the daytime.
