This it's interesting because if this event occour it should be
sent dusts with orbit collisioning with the Earth as occured,
if I remember well, with some other comets because a meteoritical
cloud it's not the same that a comet (as a point in the space)
and a side of cloud can ahve only little changes in it's orbital
element.
Best greetings.
