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.

That was quite a boom alright. I didn't hear until this morning that some folks had to be treated when they handled some of the debris. Saw that on a couple of threads.

Palestine and Nacogdoches had a lot of debris. I have an aunt and uncle that live in Flynt, just down the road from Palestine. My uncle fishes all the time at Lake Palestine.

Glad ya'll didn't get 'rained on' by the debris...
