Don Drake has put together a loop of radar images showing the debris raining down on Texas. The majority of it appears to have come down somewhere between Waco and Austin. I ask my Texas readers: does that mean anything?
The net is amazing.

I don't think any of the stuff in that circle is from the crash; it looks like the normal radar interference centered around the location of the radar itself. Most of the debris appears to have fallen to the east in Nacogdoches and other East Texas areas.

Thanks for stopping by.
