Have you ever had a Natural Meteor Strike?

Have you ever seen a Meteor strike without the use of Cheats or Aliens? Don't think I have, and I'm curious about it.

Now I drop meteors and cause meteor storms with mods...just for gits and shiggles.

1 month ago, the attendees of the Summer Festival (also Sunset Valley) had a bigger blast than they expected. This time, there were no casualties.
These were different saves. I think over the years I've had about 10-15. I had my first meteor strike the first day I got Ambitions when it was released. Jason Hawes was on his way to a ghost hunting job on his bike. I had no clue what was happening, lol. He survived, though.
All natural. I don't use mods and I've never controlled an alien.
They are rare enough that they always surprise me when I get the 'sky is getting dark' notice

A few saves ago, one came for my sim who was playing guitar for tips in front of the library. He split and then I watched to see which townie sims I needed to reset out of the way. It was only fair, since my sim was the whole reason they were standing around anyway. This probably happens more often than I notice, but if my sim is somewhere in town I just send him or her away without thinking about it.
A few years ago, I was playing an overstuffed house when I got the message that an infant noticed the sky getting dark (in the middle of the night, no less). Since all of the adults were probably too far away to pick up the kid and run before the meteor struck, I just reset him out of harm's way. I didn't even think the game would let babies or toddlers die, and although I wouldn't have saved the result, I still wonder what would have happened if I'd let things play out.
I know, I'm a sadist.
Dropping meteors all over Sunset Valley while the song "Happy Days Are Here Again" plays in the background.

Too bad Justine didn't die! -cough @Colton147147 cough-
Also, I'm craving a new animal crossing so bad
WHY!!! Animal Crossing WHY must you be so addictive.
Definitely! I downloaded the original Animal Crossing for gamecube to my computer today because I wanted to relive my childhood nostalgia lol. Been playing since the original
New leaf is like 6-7 years old now.. Seriously ready for a new game. Praying and praying that they announce it for Switch at E3!
I think I've had 4 meteors in my games over the years. One was right out of the blue. The other 3 were from sims searching the galaxy on the telescope. I always get my sims inside or off the lot before the meteor hits. So far no deaths.
The date didn't end so well.
My second meteor was in Lucky Palms. My sim was at work in the military career. Her boyfriend, Clark Bellamore, was also in the military career, but he was late for work. He arrived just about the time she left, running for home across the road. He made it inside before the meteor hit, and I thought he was going to be killed, but he survived unscathed.
My third was recently. I had a sim using a telescope for several hours. I teleported her out of the way, and moved the telescope. There was a fire, and two scorched neighbors came to freak out about it, getting in the way of my sim and the firefighter, who were trying to put it out. In spite of the fire, her house wasn't damaged.
Same.
My Sim was jogging home and the meteor came down and hit a police cruiser that had just parked outside of the consignment shop (? - I think that's what I had placed). The cop got out and walked into the shop singed.
Then my game crashed and I completely lost the random event and my video. There's my luck for ya!
But then there was this late afternoon years ago when my sims attended a party thrown by an inactive, at the inactive's house. This was the one and only time that my sims were able to take control of such a party, more or less, and get everyone around them to have a good time. They were performing music in the backyard, there was dancing, food, brilliant conversation to be had, one of them was mixing up drinks, etc. I thought success, finally I had figured out what to do with those inactive party invites that never seemed to amount to anything. Then suddenly the sky got dark, everyone looked up instead of running away, and...well yes, of course that would happen right then and there, wouldn't it.
Reminded me of the classic SimCity days where you finally get your city to function just the way you want it and then Godzilla shows up and stomps all over it.
Most of my ongoing legacy family would have been wiped out by that one if I played it through. Although any survivors might have been "talking about that epic party for years," I opted to quit without saving and if my sims want to have a good time a party now, they throw one themselves.
