>From what I have seen so far the damage is probably all from the
shockwave bringing down walls/roof and blowing in windows.....the
actual impact/meteorite may have caused much less damage....seems to
be a couple of good pictures here of a picture of it entering the
atmosphere from a satellite and a possible impact on ice in a lake?!!
