At one time in its life it obtained category 5 status, but was a "mere" category 2 here.

I,m surprised I miss this photo , but it reminds of of the movie version of Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, when the Van Allen radiation belt went awry and was burning up the atmosphere.

I remember that - the next morning it rained like hell and I was loading bags for Delta. Thought I was going to drown driving a belt loader that day!

Thanks guys! It didn't seem to set that day - more like it caught fire and eventually burned out. Everyone came out of the buildings to watch!
