Fires from beneath, and meteors from above,
Portentous, unexampled, unexplained,
Have kindled beacons in the skies; and the old
And crazy earth has had her shaking fits
More frequent, and foregone her usual rest.
Is it a time to wrangle, when the props
And pillars of our planet seem to fail,
And nature, with a dim and sickly eye,
To wait the close of all?
~ 'The Time-Piece,' Task, Book ii, lines 58-66. William Cowper

we will see a couple of these big ones coming down together during the day: i have the impression that some of us will only be half-occupied with the asteroids (physical phenomenon). The other half will be filled out with nigh miraculous experiences and impressions, sensations on a spiritual level.
Fear not at all, because for some, meteors will be bringers of new, much more bright dawn, than we had the chance to sense till now, amongst the shadows of this dimly lit Earth!
