On my blog I have gotten over 90 comments and at least 100 emails from folks across Ontario about this event. No videos or good photos submitted yet. Many eyewitness accounts mention hearing a boom sound that actually rattled their homes. One observer says his back door actually flew open when his house shook.There may be a strong possibility that fragments may have survived. I will be contacting the Western Ontario U. Meteor group and forward all my reports I have received. Hopefully it will help in locating possible areas to search.
