Nelda's stone doesn't count because it simply landed in her yard (near misses 
don't count) but the Portalas Valley fall itself does indeed since at least 
one piece hit a barn roof.  Similiar reasoning applies to Mbale.  Okay, what 
was the exact fall date (Mike?) and how about a written authoritative 
reference?
