On Sat. afternoon I heard a nasa spokesman say "there was a midcourse autopilot correction due to extreme high level buffeting and turbulance". Do you suppose that turbulance could have caused the loss of more loosened tiles than would have normally occured?

Turbulence is a concern, but I think it might have caused ice to fall off, not tiles. The tiles are stuck on there real good.
