I was up very late last night (burst water heater) so didn't get up early today. I woke at 8, but went back to sleep. The explosion is evidently what awoke me, but I live near the freeway so there is more ambient noise anyway that I'd have to sort the explosion from. The local weather folks had been taping the image of the shuttle going overhead for their news programs. It's usually a non-event that is part of the weather cast. For local news, go to The Fort Worth Star Telegram. They're telling us that anyone who finds anything on the ground is to leave it alone and alert authorities. Aparently from South Fort Worth (where I am) across to Nacogdoches (a couple of hundred miles at least east of here) and beyond there is a debris field.
