Scientists believe that a possible meteor that might have hit Florida was likely 100 feet across and incinerated trees, animals and pretty much any living thing around it with its impact and insane heat. That probably happened close to 450 years ago.

According to Russian news organizations, the meteor injured around 730 people when its impact showered debris and glass from damaged structures.

As you can see in the first videos below, the meteor also damaged buildings with its massive shockwave -- up to 270 buildings in the last count.
