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.
