Hi

The recent tornado - 4 May 2007 - in Greensburg, Kansas has -- according
to
http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tnews/NewsItemDisplay.php?Tip_AttrId==15507

destroyed a small museum housing what was listed as the world's largest
 Pallasite Meteorite, that on display in an alcove in the rear of the
gift shop.

" The Meteorite was discovered in a farmer's field in the area. The
Greensburg region had apparently been a target for an ancient meteor
shower, which deposited heavy iron chunks of space bullets everywhere.
The Meteorite was the biggest of these projectiles recovered. Dubbed the
"Space Wanderer" when discovered in 1949, the 1,000 pound Pallasite
boulder was promptly placed in the Big Well "Museum." There it sits
today."

Or it was there as of 4 May 2007 when the tornado destroyed the town and
carried off the meteorite..

What is of interest is this in  Scientific American for 7 July 1860
(vol. 3, Issue 2)
reference to The Great Tornado in Far West Described. The tornado was
described as a meteor with a great arm.

Imagine when the debris of the 4 May 2007 Greensburg Tornado settles,
there will possible be a new" meteorite" meteorite fined in Kansas.
