I'm sure we've all seen the (Doppler?), radar shot of the debris field as it settled over Texas. Would it be possible, feasible or worthwhile to go back and check similar weather radar scans starting out west, looking for any signs of debris falling off?

I realize that the radar in Texas was reflecting off of thousands of parts which is why it was so readily visable.

I think it would be worth a try.
Satellite photos would also be useful, one would think.
I'm not so quick to dismiss the apartment fire in Dallas, that started just before the shuttle came overhead, anymore either.
You also have to think the smaller pieces over the western states may have burned up before hitting earth.
