Hi Mike/Mike/All,

I wondered if I had missed something. As far as I knew, nothing had been found
(yet)
for the St. Thomas fall east of Toronto. The fall location is pretty well
constrained by
video (and possibly radar as well), so if anything survived to the ground I
expect
something will eventually be found. --Rob
