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.

I get meteors every once in a while, without mod or alien interference, although I use the telescope a lot. The last time, my sim was fishing for deathfish in Riverview, at the tip of the central island. But he'd just caught his sixth fish, so by the time I got the notification, he was already getting ready to teleport home.
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.
