I don't see any point in pitting her against other characters until we determine the appropriate math here internally.

The 'volume of water' approach seems like the best way to determine that meteor's mass, but I'm not really sure how to estimate the width of the spout. Given we do not know the actual distance away (or the size of the squid) we can't exactly come up with an upper limit for it...

That said, by estimating the size of the buildings in front of the spout, we should be able to come up with a LOWER limit (a minimum strength required). Stories of buildings tend to have an average height so if we used that we could also calculate the width of the buildings and gaps between them, use them as a frame of reference for the spout.

Unfortunately in this case, it may require a bit of guess work as to the total height (stories) of the building because we do not see them from ground level: there's a bunch of trees in the way obscuring the lower stories, and it's not clear how far back they are.

Doing this might actually require mapping out Fair City to some degree... would you happen to recall if any episode ever showed a map of the city, or if anyone ever tried to put together a rough map of the city based on relative placement of various locations?
