same, or a twitter profile or service that would notify everyone when it actually happens, and if it happens to be over a populated area, warn people below it in a timely manner that they might get hit with a bolt or something.

On its penultimate orbit it should be observable all along its orbit and when it does de-orbit there is probably a 2500 mile wide swatch where you will get to see some portion of its disintegration.
