Hey guys, I live in Nacogdoches County, Tx and my wife and I were sleeping in Saturday morning and our house started shaking. At first I thought it was a huge clap of thunder but it was clear and the sun was shining. The huge rumbling sound didn't stop and our windows were rattling. I thought something must have blown up? I got out of bed and went to the window but was more confused because it was clear blue sky and I didn't see a thing. The rubbling and shaking went on for over a full minute. 30 mins later my brother called and told me what happened.

Here are some pictures of what was going on around here yesterday. When they say the debris is everywhere, they aren't lying. It is literally scattered all over our county. These sure aren't high quality photos but they were very saddening and excting to take.(I don't mean that to sound bad but I'm sure you understand) This evening I went and picked up a press packet and I'm going to try and get some more photos tomorrow if I can.

Also, alot of the photos at night are blurry and not the higest quality, but like an idiot, I didn't use my tripod.

It's tragic you have to take those pics Txcowboy but they need to be taken.

NASA has listed a plea for photos and video concerning the shuttle disaster to be uploaded to their FTP site. Info on how to do it here.

TXcowboy, I never realized just how close they were until I seen the photos of the debis. I don't know how much, or how far this debis traveled, but will be looking out for it, and keeping the camera handy. What a terrible tragedy
