        meteor
        power mower
What was that? A meteor? That's what it looked like. I didn't hear any crash, though, did you?
Nope,I didn't hear anything except a roar. Steve? What was that? Guess it was a meteor, honey. Came awful close, didn't it? Much too close. People stand on their porches, watching and talking in low tones. We see a man screwing in a light bulb on a front porch, then getting down off the stool to turn on the switch and finding that nothing happens. A man working on an electric power mower plugs in the plug. He turns on the switch, on and off, but nothing happens. Through the window of a front porch a woman is seen dialing her phone. Operator! Operator! Something's wrong with the phone, operator! Steve, the power's off. I had the soup on the stove, and the stove just stopped working. Same thing over here. I can't get anybody on the phone, either. The phone seems to be dead.
