I was in Lake Tahoe when it happened, it was an incredibly crisp and clear early morning so you could hear the sonic boom as the shuttle traced the upper atmosphere directly over the top of Northern California on a trajectory down towards Texas. I'm pretty sure the initial breakup started directly over us and fireballed all the way into Western Texas.

It ruined my birthday...
