I do not have television, but back when I did, it seemed that Weather Channel was a moron magnet for talking heads. Maybe that changed. Maybe not.

(I did do a google to see if anything had been posted about such - empty)

From Fox News:
Several pieces of foam insulation came off the external fuel tank during liftoff, and the shuttle was hit two or three times, said Bill Gerstenmaier, NASA's space operations chief. Some scuff marks were spotted on the belly, but that probably is coating loss and considered minor, he said.
