In the center of the picture about 1/6 of the way up from the bottom there
is what looks like the 2 ft x 3 ft oak stand (possibly tipped over) that the
1,000 pound meteorite used to sit on.
you oughtta see how far it can throw a 6,000 lbs. car!

I agree with Charlie. I don't think it would be moved much, if any.
I think a wind greater than the terminal velocity of the object in
free fall would be needed to lift it, and that would be several
hundred miles per hour. If it is truly

Hi All,
this is really devastating.
Poor people in Greensburg!
I am sure this group will make a difference by helping out in whatever way
one can.
This is truly a great community!
And to the meteorite, this is a story to be told after all this tragedy is
over.
Has it been found yet?

Indeed, it will be interesting to see where the
meteorite ends up being found at, a perfect chance for
scientists to measure the distance an object with
exact known weight is thrown. Terrible news though, it
seems that the town no longer exists.
