Tornado snatches 1,000 pound pallasite meteorite

GREENSBURG, Kan. The tornado that razed the Kansas town of Greensburg also
snatched one of its most valuable treasures. The thousand-pound Brenham
pallasite meteorite is gone.
Greensburg has drawn world-class meteorite hunters for decades to this remote
Kansas hamlet. Trooper Ronald Knoefel says even the town's own extensive
meteorite collection is gone.

And the town's other claim to fame -- the world's largest hand dug well -- is
buried under a mountain of debris.

The nearby gift shop for the attraction had housed the famous meteorite.
