How does "There Will Come Soft Rains" relate to meteor showers?

I don't see much in way of similarity between the concept
of the meteor shower and Bradbury's short story.  The meteor shower idea is one that
reflects a certain resiliency about Earth.  The meteors and showers that are on Earth's
trajectory are disintegrated as they enter the Earth's atmosphere.  This reflects a
certain level of strength in Earth, capable of withstanding something that could
represent destruction.  The vision that Bradbury gives in his short story is not this. 
In this particular setting, Earth has not been able to withstand the mass destruction
that presumably humans have inflicted upon it.  The massive amount of radiation and
radioactive waste that is in the air has killed off all human life.  This destruction of
humans was brought on by humans, making the setting even more painful to witness.  The
natural balance of the meteor showers heading towards Earth and then being dissolved
through atmospheric pressure is not the equilibrium represented by the condition in
Bradbury's short story, where clearly, all is not well.  In this light, I see the vision
that Bradbury offers as an indictment of human "progress," one that contradicts what is
offered in the realm of natural progression.
