Things Taken by Tornado

This is actually a pretty astonishing item for a tornado to carry away--part of another world. From KWCH.COM, channel 12 Kansas:
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.
