Well, the last FR article I saw on this, predicted "Sometime in the next four months" it would hit "The Earth, somewhere".
Hopefully, this article is a bit more specific.

Curious they are so sure it will burn up before hitting the ground. Would those authors feel so confident and comfortable if they knew with certainty that they were in the direct path? Bet not. They then offer reassurance that the earth is mostly water so like gambling, the odds are against it landing on you.
Too bad we have a rain river or whatever they are calling it coming through Reno area this week so we won't see the falling satellite coming.

Last I heard, well, read, that it's more likely to come down in MI, than any place else within its orbit/trajectory.
So, if the average spot is 1/billion, that may mean that MI is 2/billion, leaving billion-2/billion much more likely...
...I think...

If it lands in Lake Michigan, will it poison the water supply?

Too bad this didn’t happen 8-12 weeks ago, we’d have had a very different winter here in the Reno-Tahoe area. Right now have what is basically our first real snow fall of the year, yet now it is over 50 degrees out.

"There’s an extremely small chance a single piece of the satellite will ever hit land, let alone you specifically."Is there a way to increase the chance that a piece of the satellite will fall on a Demonicrat politician or Deep Stater?

If they can launch a satellite that will rendezvous with Saturn 8 years after launch, they certainly are able to determine when and where this Chinese orbiting toilet will hit.
They're just not saying.
