Holy CRAP! Scared the life out of me... I live in Merritt Island, so when the shuttles go off, I can see them very clearly from my front porch... well, there I am, sitting on my back porch, smoking the morning cancer stick and trying to wake up with my coffee, when BOOM! The wind (yes, WIND) from the re-entry/boom/whatever blows my hair back, blows my window blinds all over, and freaks my cat out... I had no idea the shuttle was coming in, so I thought a cannon ball (or some other projectile) hit my house and was waiting for debris to come raining down... they really ought to warn people of these things...
And yes, congratulations on a successful mission and return :)
Next time, will someone please give me a heads up?
