folks...

my take: this putative fall is unlikely to generate a seismic signal if
pieces hit the ground at terminal free-fall velocity (several hundred mph
for really large chunks, much less for smaller ones).

meanwhile, I've analyzed Mike Hankey's photo. assuming the bolide was 1:10
am local time and "falling from the sky", as reports indicate, then the
meteor segment in the image he took was centered at AZ 73°, AL 63½°, and had
a bearing toward the east-northeast horizon.


clear skies,
Kelly
