Rande, Yes, the main foot print is for dense objects, and will be clustered around the furthest extent of the debris field. Items that fell earlier are light pieces and can slow quickly to terminal velocity and then fall vertically. Items that fell off earlier can also be upstream and tiles that feel over California are light enough to stop fast without burning and drop anywhere from Ca to Tx depending on where they fell off. Since doppler gets raindrops it can show many tiny bits, thousands. These will be fluffy for the most part with the dense items having already fallen through. Bill
