In East Plano, a fire of unknown origin started on the roof of a condominium at Park Boulevard and Ridgewood Drive. It drew spasms of panicked speculation. Frantic residents blamed the fire on debris raining down from the shuttle, saying no other cause was possible. Officials were still investigating the fire Saturday night and would not confirm the cause.

Hey, there is a mention of the fire you asked about yesterday. It wasn't in the DMN yesterday though. Interesting...

Still can't believe it.
We were millimg around yesterday morning, we live in Smith County, just north of Tyler, when the ground starting shaking and a rumbling noise, accompanied by a very loud boom, rolled through.
My wife and I said "what the heck was that" in unison.
We actually thought a high pressure aquifer across the road had come uncapped and was spewing water.
The noise was very unnerving. Our place is on a hill in the woods and the ground was shaking, it was weird because the rumbling noise and ground shaking started and went on for about 5 seconds, then a very loud BOOM, and about 5 more seconds of shaking and the rumbling noise.
We had to go to Tyler and do a little job and when we started out, we heard on the radio what had happened.
We didn't get any debris as we are north of the flight path. Most of it landed about 70 miles SE of us.

Thanks, now I know I didn't imagine reports of fire in Plano. It will be interesting to learn the cause.
