My only problem with this is why is she not in the hospital. As meteorites are traveling at great speed. It should have blown her foot away....In my opinion....

She's lucky it is small. If it were the size of a brick it would have broken bones.

My thoughts, 90 seconds later ....

Y'all might want to google on (meteorite hit person). It's happened before, and both the impact velocity and the surface temperature of the objects is much less than you seem to expect.

Thank you...exactly what I was thinking

You forgot about all that CO2 that the US is putting in to the atmosphere. Created such drag that it dropped the
speed down. So slow, as a matter of fact, that it had time to cool down as well. I'm surprised a storm cell didn't spring up around it.
There's always that girl that took the family car out for a spin and had a quarter panel destroyed by a meteorite.
Or that woman that was blown out of bed by one crashing through her roof.
The only known person to be hit by man-made space junk was a woman too.
Any reason to believe that there is a pattern developing???
Or is it just that females are gawndurn magnetically attractive?
