I'd say, looking at the data which has been published (and some that has not), that it is rather unlikely this fireball produced any meteorites. The high terminal explosion combined with a fairly steep descent angle are not promising indicators. It is virtually certain that nobody witnessed any impacts, of course.

I tried sending this to the list yesterday but I guess it didn't post or I didn't see it. Anyway, here it is again...

After hearing the news about the meteor I figured I'd do some research. I've compiled reports from all across the northwest from newpapers, websites, videos, and eyewitness accounts of the fall. This is what I came up with.
