Apologies for the last message. I misinterpreted the initial predictions
and it does appear to have been heading the other way and AMS has it
terminating near the coast slode to Dieppe and FRIPON even closer...other
models now showing that indeed it may have dropped material on land. Good
luck to my friends heading there for a search.
