Alas, little quenching rain will result from a space-attack... it interferes with filming schedules.
Instead, the eerie ground-fogs that inevitably follow *any* meteor will prolly just bring the spectral revenge of long-dead reptilian monsters, Captain Highliner casting-call rejects, and very un-creative aliens. They might all be a nice change in the parched west this summer. (Hint to those affected: gazebos, convertibles and restaurants with all-glass walls will make poor shelters from both natural AND supernatural assault, despite the excellent lighting and camera angles they afford).
In Canada, meteors usually bring giant, radioactive insects that we ignore because they inevitably migrate southward, and conservative governments, which we can't.
