Bam! Evidence that Auckland is too big...

The City of Sails is famed for its suburban sprawl - it has expanded to the point where there is now a non-trival chance of being hit by a passing chondrite.
As reported in the Sunday Star*Times:

"'I was in the kitchen doing breakfast and there was this almighty explosion,' said Brenda Archer. 'It was like a bomb had gone off. I couldn't see anything, there was just dust. I thought something had exploded in the ceiling. Phil saw a stone under the computer and it was hot to touch.'"

Somehow the speeding fragment missed Mayor Banks ego.

UPDATE: The Archer's are evidently not geologists:

"Obviously it's a very rare thing to happen but it's just been a crazy reaction for a piece of rock," said Mr Archer.
